@sib.swissSIB's @viralzone.bsky.social team contributed to the work in a collaboration with @ebi.embl.org, GoogleDeepMind, NVIDIA, Seoul National University, @glasgow.ac.uk, @cepi.net, Sungkyunkwan University
@sib.swissA huge data gap for viruses is now filled in the AlphaFold Database, with the release of:
- virus protein-protein interactions for 2,800 viruses posing the greatest public-health risks
- 3D structures of nearly 7,800 viral proteins from 699 of these viruses

@sib.swissSIB Biodata Resources were on show at ECCB @eccb-europe.bsky.social, through posters and info sessions by experts across our network.
The programme also featured SIB scientists presenting on pathogen surveillance, new AI tools and more: eccb2026.org/schedule/int...
@eccb-europe.bsky.socialReposted by @sib.swissThis morning we remembered four computational biology pioneers, who the world sadly lost over the past year.
Thank you to all speakers for your moving tributes at ECCB.
@eccb-europe.bsky.socialReposted by @sib.swissLast night Geneva’s Jet d’eau lit up for ECCB!
A spectacular finish to the event’s opening day – with further celebration, science and connection on the programme for today: eccb2026.org/schedule/int...
@eccb-europe.bsky.socialReposted by @sib.swissSwiss President Guy Parmelin opened ECCB today, with Geneva Canton President Anne Hiltpold, Swiss National Councillor Simone de Montmollin, University of Geneva Rector Audrey Leuba & Jeremy Farrar of the WHO. They highlighted Geneva as a hub of high-quality data.
