Cancer Grand Challenges grants for Utrechts-based researchers
Several Utrecht-based researchers have been awarded prestigious Cancer Grand Challenges grants, each worth up to $25 million over five years. These grants are awarded by the Cancer Grand Challenges intiative, founded by Cancer Research UK and the National Cancer Instute, which identifies the most complex problems in cancer research and empower global, interdisciplinary teams to tackle these […]
EU Project ENSURE advances sustainable computing
The Bonvin group joins the Horizon EU funded ENSURE project led by EGI, to reduce the environmental impact of digital research infrastructures. Using standardized metrics, AI models and digital twins, ENSURE promotes sustainable computing. The HADDOCK webservice will serve as a use case to lower its CO₂ footprint via smarter job distribution across EGI/EOSC resources. Read more […]
NWO Compute grant for HADDOCK service
An NWO-EW computing grant (10 million CPU hours) has been awarded to support the HADDOCK service, developed in the Bonvin Lab. Provided by Utrecht University’s WeNMR team, HADDOCK serves 77,000+ users worldwide. Access to Dutch HTC resources via SURFsara and Nikhef ensures continued large-scale biomolecular modelling support. Read more on the Bonvin Lab website

Cracking the Code of Gene Regulation with AI
Jeroen de Ridder and Bas van Steensel, as part of an Oncode instute initiative, introduced the lightweight AI model PARM in Nature. PARM accurately predicts how regulatory DNA controls gene activity. The model enables scalable interpretation of cancer-related mutations, opening new avenues for diagnostics, patient stratification and future therapies. This publication marks a successful collaboration project entitled PERICODE, which […]
