Our latest work: "Computational design of antimicrobial peptide nanopores". By combining computational design with mechanistic and experimental validation, we developed 52 sequence templates for pore forming peptides and demonstrated in vivo efficacy on mice infected with drug-resistant pathogens.

Recently, we enjoyed a wonderful group activity: archery. It was fun, team-building, and a very successful event. While we may not have hit every target, we remain very precise in our scientific aims. :)

My student Láďa Bartoš @ladme.bsky.social was disappointed by the available tools to calculate order parameters of lipid membranes. His decision? To develop his own—far better, much faster, and more functional—and share it with everyone. Take a look at our preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
