Combining frontier AI & frontier biology to help scientists cure or prevent disease
@biohub.orgBiohub Investigator @jameszou.bsky.social built a “virtual biotech”—37K AI agents that analyzed 57K clinical trials and found clues to what makes drugs succeed. The New York Times traces its roots to a collaboration sparked by our scientist John Pak: bit.ly/4hLrpnm

@biohub.orgThree webinars on the science behind ESMC interpretability, ESMFold2, and binder design are now on YouTube. Hear from the researchers who built the models, and view live demos and tutorials that you can apply to your own research. Watch the playlist: https://bit.ly/4h1IObl
@loicaroyer.bsky.socialReposted by @biohub.orgAI has become such a powerful tool, enabling entire areas of science and biology. I got to talk about this as part of a new PBS special on how AI and biotech are transforming medicine.
Overall, the documentary is quite interesting!
It's worth a watch!
@biohub.orgBiohub scientist Dr. Angela Oliveira Pisco worked with a team of genomics and software experts to more than double the number of cells in the Tabula Sapiens dataset, and increase the number of cell types represented, to 700.
@biohub.org🔬New in @cellpress.bsky.social from Biohub Investigator Bo Huang: AI-designed proteins built from scratch (dubbed "Rhobins") work in living cells and now match or even surpass fluorescent tags refined over decades of natural protein engineering.

@biohub.orgOrganoids can mimic human organs, but we study them mostly with static, endpoint assays. A new perspective argues for instrumented tissues, which are engineered human tissue woven with electrical, chemical, mechanical, and optical sensor arrays, to move faster from disease mechanism to therapy.
@biohub.orgThis is the largest dataset contributed to the Billion Cells Project to date. It is an important step toward the scale and coordination needed to build the Virtual Biology Initiative.
