š New paper in J Cheminformatics!
"PL-PatchSurfer3: improved str-based virtual screening using 3D Zernike descriptors".
Even in the deep learning era, this surface-based approach competes with modern DL methods, especially on apo & AlphaFold structures.

Cancer doesnāt rely on a single pathway ā and new therapies may not have to either.
Andrea Kasinski is developing microRNA therapies that suppress multiple cancer-driving genes at once, taking a broader approach to stopping tumor growth and resistance. purdue.link/rna-cancer-kasinā¦
