25 November 2025. Molecular Design for Cardiac Cell Differentiation Using a Small Data Set and Decorated Shape Features published in JCIM! We made real cardiac cells using simple regression models and a novel molecular feature representation. Theoretical chemistry made useful! Thanks to the Nakano lab at UCLA and all our other co-authors for this exciting collaboration.
22 November 2024. We hosted the 'icembly', iCeMS's awkwardly titled tea-time event!

Persuasive advertising thanks to Mrs. Baba.
