FLIP2: Expanding Protein Fitness Landscape Benchmarks for Real-World Machine Learning Applications

ICML 2026oral

Machine learning methods that predict protein fitness from sequence remain sensitive to changes in data distributions, limiting generalization across common conditions encountered in protein engineering. Practically, protein engineers are thus left wondering about the effective utility of ML tools. …

La-Proteina: Atomistic Protein Generation via Partially Latent Flow Matching

ICLR 2026poster

Recently, many generative models for de novo protein structure design have emerged. Yet, only few tackle the difficult task of directly generating fully atomistic structures jointly with the underlying amino acid sequence. This is challenging, for instance, because the model must reason over side ch…

Scaling Atomistic Protein Binder Design with Generative Pretraining and Test-Time Compute

ICLR 2026oral

Protein interaction modeling is central to protein design, which has been transformed by machine learning with broad applications in drug discovery and beyond. In this landscape, structure-based de novo binder design is most often cast as either conditional generative modeling or sequence optimizati…

Compositional Flows for 3D Molecule and Synthesis Pathway Co-design

ICML 2025poster

Many generative applications, such as synthesis-based 3D molecular design, involve constructing compositional objects with continuous features. Here, we introduce Compositional Generative Flows (CGFlow), a novel framework that extends flow matching to generate objects in compositional steps while mo…

Proteina: Scaling Flow-based Protein Structure Generative Models

ICLR 2025oral

Recently, diffusion- and flow-based generative models of protein structures have emerged as a powerful tool for de novo protein design. Here, we develop *Proteina*, a new large-scale flow-based protein backbone generator that utilizes hierarchical fold class labels for conditioning and relies on a t…

DEFT: Efficient Fine-tuning of Diffusion Models by Learning the Generalised $h$-transform

NeurIPS 2024poster

Generative modelling paradigms based on denoising diffusion processes have emerged as a leading candidate for conditional sampling in inverse problems. In many real-world applications, we often have access to large, expensively trained unconditional diffusion models, which we aim to exploit for imp…

Dynamics-Informed Protein Design with Structure Conditioning

ICLR 2024poster

Current protein generative models are able to design novel backbones with desired shapes or functional motifs. However, despite the importance of a protein’s dynamical properties for its function, conditioning on dynamical properties remains elusive. We present a new approach to protein generative m…

Evaluating Representation Learning on the Protein Structure Universe

ICLR 2024poster

We introduce ProteinWorkshop, a comprehensive benchmark suite for representation learning on protein structures with Geometric Graph Neural Networks. We consider large-scale pre-training and downstream tasks on both experimental and predicted structures to enable the systematic evaluation of the qua…
