Predicting protein stability with simple maths
Until now, it was thought that multiple mutations could interact with each other, enhancing or suppressing each other’s effects. However, research from CRG has shown that this is a rare phenomenon.
Reducing the use of animals in toxicological research with data science and artificial intelligence
A new European project coordinated by MELIS-UPF aims to reduce the use of laboratory animals by up to 25% in drug safety testing by creating virtual control groups.

Punctuated evolution: from species to elections, computers, or covid
