To predict the future in biotech, study and understand the tools. Stories of new drugs, platforms, data generation strategies are usually stories of new measurement techniques. Progress in assay development has been breakneck this past year but masked by widespread industry

Most interesting part of the Boltz-2 paper was how important curation was to achieve competitive results with FEP As we move "upwards" from molecular interactions to more complex disease mechanisms - pathway dynamics, cell-cell interactions, whole tissue biomarkers - think about

Yup. Data curation, sanitization, QC, harmonization & uniform processing with robust & technically robust approaches are absolutely critical to push ML models to the next level. 1/

Over the last 2 weeks, I took a deep dive into Evo 2, Arc's Genomic Foundation model. But, I couldn't find a crisp primer on Evo 2 that covered the decisions for the ML architecture, the inference-time scaling results or the mechanistic interpretability results. So, I wrote one!

Kathleen (ex Palantir head of Life Sciences) is SUPER sharp. Keeping an eye on whatever she does next!

Today, we’re launching “The Dubbing Rubric” — a method for properly evaluating AI dubbing systems. Including a set of human evals comparing popular solutions on the market - check it out!

"The Prompt Floor" is my favorite Veo 3 video yet. And it's wild that we already have AI mockumentaries... (from u/AmadeusMS)

1/5 Congrats to Nominal on their $75M Series B 📷 Every satellite, rocket engine, nuclear reactor, and robotic arm is now basically a computer generating massive amounts of data. But the tools to test and validate them are still stuck in the past.

some say that robots making margaritas is the holy grail of lab automation

Spatial biology is the most powerful + data intensive tool in biotech history but ~1TB outputs and fragmented tools make analysis difficult. We built a H5 viewer using AnnData, PMTiles + DuckDB that renders millions of cells, transcripts and tiled high content images in the

Much like early genomics required genome browsers to contextualize high-throughput data, we're at a moment in history where spatial biology now demands an analogous tool. One that supports dynamic, multi-modal and interactive visualization at the scale of millions of cells, all

Since the beginning of the year, 4 more top 15 market cap pharma companies have started using Latch. 5 in total. 6 if you expand to top 25 market cap. All are using new spatial and/or single cell sequencing tech (eg. not Illumina or 10X).

To replace animal testing with AI, we need MASSIVE human datasets. Today, we're thrilled to share Axiom's new data exploration tool, providing the ability to visually explore the world's largest primary human liver toxicity dataset. Built with Axiom's proprietary wetlab

We are thrilled to announce that Infinity Bio has closed our Series A investment, led by the amazing team at Illumina Ventures. As part of the deal, Infinity Bio has acquired Serimmune Inc, a complementary antibody reactome service provider. This event marks a major milestone

Introducing Dubbing 3.0 - the highest quality AI video translator. - Handles multi-speaker video better than any provider - Expresses emotions better (e.g calm vs frustrated) - More natural, context-aware translations - Supports 30+ languages and accents

Data is the oil of modern biotech. New tools allow us to model living systems too complex for unaided human cognition. Latch is releasing a new capabilities in data curation + delivery: - 30M observational cell atlas across 150 diseases, 200 tissues, 27 technologies - a

Neuralink's latest demo actually brought me to tears. You can use your brain to play Mario Kart, Call of Duty and even control a robotic arm to write. As someone with an uncle who is disabled, it's awesome to see a team truly unlocking human potential.

Software for spatial biology is so beautiful to look at.

We benchmarked 14 of the top AI dubbing tools, and the results shocked us. Even some of the popular names failed at preserving speaker identity or handling multi-speaker videos. For context, the evals were conducted by third-party native speakers across 8 languages.

EB1 greencard visa: APPROVED !! 🇺🇸 🎆 Truly crazy journey going from Vietnam where some family members made <$1 a day > moving to Canada alone at 16 > US. Happy July 4 and grateful to be part of this country!
