Peptídeos em cosméticos: uma revolução que não é isenta de riscos theconversation.com/peptideo…

🧬 Can artificial intelligence help make cosmetics safer? Our study uses explainable AI to identify peptide sequences that may trigger allergic reactions. AI explains why a peptide is predicted to be allergenic, helping scientists design safer dermatological and cosmetics.

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

Boltz-2 for drug discovery - is the hype justified? A new study tested it on 38,000+ compounds across two targets:weak to moderate correlation with physics-based binding free energies. Among the top 100 compounds: no significant correlation at all. arxiv.org/abs/2603.05532

Thrilled to announce alphagenome-pytorch, an accurate, readable, and careful port of AlphaGenome's architecture and weights to PyTorch. Work with @gtcaa @m_kjellberg @chriswzou @tuxinming as part of the GenomicsxAI initiative between @anshulkundaje and @pkoo562 labs.

We worked with @Ginkgo to connect GPT-5 to an autonomous lab, so it could propose experiments, run them at scale, learn from the results, and decide what to try next. That closed loop brought protein production cost down by 40%.
