This is the Way
Daniela, Patrizia, Goran, Toni and Ana presented their research at the 36th European Peptide Symposium and 12th International Peptide Symposium in Sitges. Great conference, amaizing research and discussions with people from all over the world. Patrizia won the poster prize (3rd best poster) on a conference with more than 500 posters and over 750 participants. Well done!
Patrizia traveled to Naples to present her work. Her trip was supported by the PhD grant “Prometej” from the University of Rijeka Foundation. 
Goran and Daniela participated at the ICT4S conference and Sustrainable workshop in Plovdiv, showcasing our recent publications.
We are happy to share that Nataliya Korol from the Uzhhorod National University is visiting the University of Rijeka and the DeShPet lab at the Department of Biotechnology thorugh the University of Rijeka internationalization project. We are looking forward to a great start of a new collaboration!
Daniela and Goran visited Prof. Javier Montenegro at CiQUS – Center for Research in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials in Santiago de Compostela. Daniela gave an overview of the DeShPet project and participated in the commette of the PhD defence of Ivan Gallego. 
We are proud to announce a new paper entitled Coupled encoding methods for antimicrobial peptide prediction: How sensitive is a highly accurate model? published in Artificial Intelligence in the Life Sciences open access journal.
We are happy to share that our collaborator and friend dr. Toni Todorovski visited us at the Department of Biotechnology in Rijeka. During his visit we had valuable discussions about the project and the challenges of peptide design, synthesis and characterization. Toni also participated at our lab meeting.
Congrats to Erik and Goran for publishing their results on using transfer learning in Knowledge-Based Systems (IF 8.038) in collaboration with Ivan Štajduhar. If you are interested in reading the paper you can find it here.
This month Daniela participated as speaker to the PhD CAREER CAFÉ organized by the by the PhD School at the University of Rijeka, where she shared, alongiside with other colleagues, her experiences during the PhD and post-doc. The program was intended for postgraduate students accross all disciplines at the University of Rijeka.
In this paper, published in Chemical Science (IF 9.825), Ana Pina and colleagues discuss the discovery of phosphotyrosine-binding oligopeptides with supramolecular target selectivity through biopanning strategy.
This work is a collaboration of the Rein Ulijn Group from the Advanced Science Research Center, GC/CUNY and Cecilia Roque laboratory at the NOVA School of Science and Technology, Lisbon. I am happy that I could participate in this great research as part of the Ulijn lab crew during my post-doc in New York.
