Amazing what you can do with a good dataset.
Virgo placed machines in endoscopy centers across the country that capture video while endoscopy is performed. They've amassed a collection of 130,000 endoscopy videos.
Now using that to train algos to better diagnose disease.
🚀 The Future of AI in Healthcare...
Language models and generative AI have attracted all the buzz, but I think 2025 is the year we see transformational breakthroughs around computer vision in healthcare.
At Virgo, we've been exploring how DINOv2 has the potential to deliver and democratize these breakthroughs — and we are very bullish!

Nice to see #disabilityinclusion at #Disneyland It's a Small World. My son noticed this was added recently.

Kamran Ali and Transon Nguyen, former UCI BME (@elliothui lab) students, started Eigen Therapeutics & just raised a $7 million seed round
Eigen's developing a highthroughput platform to discover priming therapies. This should enhance existing targeted therapies for cancers.
Targeted therapies are incredibly effective in some instances but can fail in others because cancer is heterogeneous. So we asked ourselves: what if we made cancer cells easier for targeted therapies to eliminate?

Great reading about Enrico Gratton's life and career in this AIP oral history. (With a mention of @michelledigman !) aip.org/history-programs/nie…
I recently digitized some old video and figured I'd share it here with a story about the early days of microfluidics.
[Long thread]

The PDMS paper enabled a much more rapid manufacturing of microfluidic circuits. And, of course, the 2002 paper by Todd Thorsen and Steve Quake on large scale integration, which enabled so many new experiments. science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/…
