The Institute for Drug Discovery, Leipzig University, together with Scads.AI Dresden/Leipzig and the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure deNBI, invite you to participate in the Leipzig Rosetta Workshop 2025 – a week-long intensive workshop on methods in computational protein and drug design.

About

Over the past four years, computational technologies – especially AI-driven methods like AlphaFold – have dramatically advanced protein structure prediction from sequence. This progress has been so profound that many now consider it a solved challenge. The next frontier is much more challenging – being able to create sequences for particular functions, that is, the design challenge. Recently, innovative deep learning approaches for protein design, such as ProteinMPNN and RFDiffusion, have emerged. At the Institute for Drug Discovery at Leipzig University, we believe that these cutting-edge AI-driven design methods will soon become indispensable tools for biological engineering. We warmly invite you to join our vision by participating in our workshop, which will introduce these exciting methods.

Date & Location

July 14 – 18, 2025, 9:00am – 5:00pm

ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig
Löhrs Carré
Humboldtstraße 25,
04105 Leipzig

Program

The workshops will cover theory and applications of modern computational approaches including:

• Rosetta and pyRosetta
• AlphaFold
• ProteinMPNN
• RFdiffusion
• BindCraft

We will discuss their value in designing:

• Therapeutic peptides
• Vaccines
• Enzymes
• And other therapeutic modalities

The working language of the event is English.

A detailed programme will be published soon at https://meilerlab.org/tutorials/upcoming-workshops/

Registration

Registration is already closed.

If you are affiliated with a Rosetta Commons lab, please consider applying for the Rosetta Workshop associated with the European RosettaCon in October. Details will soon be posted.
