Finally get to say that a drug I helped discover is in human trials. The team sprinted for 6 years on this. We went from a thought-to-be undruggable target to profound degradation very quickly, and then several more years optimizing for human dosing. That speaks to the power of DNA encoded libraries and modularity of TPD, and the hard road that is drug *development*. ir.nurixtx.com/news-releases…

We are thrilled to share our latest work out today @Dev_Cell! Appendiceal adenocarcinoma (AC) is a rare, aggressive cancer that frequently spreads to the peritoneum. Until now, lack of robust preclinical models has severely limited drug discovery. cell.com/developmental-cell/…🧵👇 🔗

1/ I'm a bioinformatian who uses Claude (and code) every day. Most people use it like a search engine. Anthropic quietly published a page that shows you what you're actually missing.

Our paper on variational synthesis is out now in Nature Biotechnology. Manufacturing-aware generative models — AI architectures that know how to physically build their own designs — enabling synthesis of DNA encoding ~10^16 AI-designed proteins at a cost that would be roughly a quadrillion dollars using conventional methods.

1/n Have you ever wondered whether an amplified oncogene in a patient’s tumor (HER2/EGFR/CCND1/…) is carried on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) vs embedded within a chromosome? Bulk WGS + genome graph can hint, but in practice it’s often hard to resolve. Here is our new preprint.

Today marks a meaningful milestone -- I am starting as a lab investigator @CompOncMSK and thoracic oncologist @MSK_DeptOfMed, focused on improving treatment through a deep understanding of cancer evolution. I'll soon be looking for fellow travelers on this mission. Stay tuned!

Awesome opportunity to work with the rising star of this field in an exciting team!
Hello Xverse, we're on the hunt for a postdoctoral fellow to study cellular and systemic metabolism with a quantitative, multimodal toolkit. Is this you or someone you know and love? Reach out!

updated ICML version! openreview.net/pdf?id=8LdBTj…
While you’re at #ICML2023 check out our work with @EliWeinstein6 and @deboramarks! In it we build an absolute and inexpensive measure of discrepancy between generative models and observations of biological sequences. icml.cc/virtual/2023/poster/…, openreview.net/forum?id=fvBV…
