As part of the IBG Teaching & Training Presentation Series, we will hold a session titled “The AI Revolution in Structural Biology: 2024 Chemistry Nobel Prize” presented by Assist. Prof. Ezgi Karaca.

Dr. Karaca will present the transformative impact of artificial intelligence in structural biology and discuss the groundbreaking advancements that led to the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The session will focus on AI-powered tools such as AlphaFold, which have revolutionized protein structure prediction. These advancements have opened new frontiers in drug discovery, biotechnology, and molecular biology, fundamentally reshaping life sciences. Additionally, the session will explore how these developments will shape the future of the field.

This event will be held in a hybrid format, allowing for both in-person and online participation.

On November 21st 2024, Dr. Gerhard Wingender will give a Teaching & Training presentation discussing ‘Authorship and Reproducibility of Science’.

We will discuss two questions:

 (1) Who should be an author? Please think about what criteria you would choose to judge whether someone should be listed on a scientific publication.

(2) Do we have a reproducibility crisis in science? Please think about whether you had problems reproducing published data, does science has a structural problem with reproducibility, and if yes, what could be done.

The seminar will take place at 11 am on Thursday, 21 November 2024, at the Aziz Sancar Auditorium at Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center (IBG).

To join online, please register.

We look forward to your paticipation!
