LASIGE’s PhD student Pedro Ruas was invited for a three-month stay with the Bioinformatics Research Group at BIOTEC, part of the Dresden University of Technology, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Michael Schroeder.

The research stay started in October and will end in December 2023. The main goal of this collaboration is to explore the use of large language models in the cheminformatics field, more concretely, on the prediction of drug-target interactions and on the explainability of cluster analysis.
