In this episode, we are excited to host Dr. Stanislav Mazurenko, a leading expert in protein engineering and artificial intelligence. With a Ph.D. in applied mathematics and cybernetics from Lomonosov Moscow State University and extensive postdoctoral research at Loschmidt Laboratories, Stanislav now leads research at RECETOX. We delve into molecular dynamics simulations, statistical models, and the application of machine learning to protein design. Key takeaways include the essential role of proteins, the complexities of simulating their dynamics, and the optimization benefits provided by machine learning. Stanislav highlights the synergy between automation and machine learning, and underscores the importance of learning from mistakes in scientific research.
