Leipzig Rosetta Workshop 2025
14–18 July 2025, Leipzig, Germany
Institute for Drug Discovery, Leipzig University, together with Scads.AI and deNBI, invite you to participate in a week-long intensive workshop on methods in computational protein and drug design.
About
Over the past four years, computational technologies – especially AI-driven methods like AlphaFold – have dramatically advanced protein structure prediction from sequence. This progress has been so profound that many now consider it a solved challenge. The next frontier is much more challenging – being able to create sequences for particular functions, that is, the design challenge. Recently, innovative deep learning approaches for protein design, such as ProteinMPNN and RFDiffusion, have emerged. At the Institute for Drug Discovery in Leipzig, we believe that these cutting-edge AI-driven design methods will soon become indispensable tools for biological engineering. We warmly invite you to join our vision by participating in our workshop, which will introduce these exciting methods.
Program
We will cover theory and applications of modern computational approaches including
- Rosetta and pyRosetta
- AlphaFold
- ProteinMPNN
- RFdiffusion
- BindCraft
We will discuss their value in designing
- Therapeutic peptides
- Vaccines
- Enzymes
- And other therapeutic modalities
The working language of the event is English.
Detailed programme will be published soon.
When
14–18 July 2025, from 9am to 5pm, with pauses for lunch and coffee breaks (please note that lunch is not provided by the organisers).
Where
Scads.AI headquarters in Leipzig.
Humboldtstraße 25, 04105 Leipzig, Saxony, Germany
Zwenkauer See event room.
Registration
The workshop is open for students and researchers at any career level.
Registration and participation are free. Please note that meals and accommodation will not be provided. The number of available places is limited, and in case of a large number of applicants, a selection based on a motivation letter might be implemented.
Registration is open until 6 June 2025
Decisions on admission until 13 June 2025
If you are affiliated with a Rosetta Commons lab, please consider applying for the Rosetta Workshop associated with the European RosettaCon in October. Details will soon be posted.
