#1: SuperWater - Generative AI framework to predict water molecule positions on protein structures

Date and Time

Date: July 9th, 2026

Time: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM (GMT+7)

Location: Zoom Online

Event Details

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.

The webinar will be hosted by Giang Nguyen, Co-founder/CEO of NYB.ai, with invited author of SuperWater, DR. Yunchao (Lance) Liu. The format includes a 20-minute technical presentation followed by live Q&A.

Speaker Information

Featured speaker: DR. Yunchao (Lance) Liu, Co-author of SuperWater, Scientist at A*STAR (Singapore)

DR. Yunchao (Lance) 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.
