AI4LIFE Innovation Talks #1
Join Vecura team for a technical webinar exploring SuperWater, an emerging AI framework for predicting water molecule positions around protein structures. The session will discuss why water molecules matter in molecular discovery, how SuperWater approaches the prediction problem, and how researchers may think about applying water-aware AI tools in structure-based workflows.
Featured speaker: Dr. Yunchao (Lance) Liu, author of SuperWater
Dr. Liu will present the motivation behind SuperWater, how the method approaches water molecule position prediction, and what this could mean for researchers working on protein structures, binding site analysis, and molecular discovery workflows.
The webinar will be hosted by Giang Nguyen, Co-founder & CEO of NYB.ai, the team behind Vecura. The format includes a 20-minute technical presentation followed by live Q&A.
What you will learn:
- Why water molecules matter in protein structures and molecular interactions
- What problem SuperWater is designed to solve
- How generative AI can support water molecule position prediction
- Potential applications in protein hydration, binding site analysis, docking interpretation, and structure-based drug discovery
- Current limitations, open questions, and future directions for water-aware AI tools
