Agree. The most difficult, and perhaps thus most worthy application of AI to drug discovery is, in my view, the characterization of disease biology.

Better understanding how and when to intervene in disease, particularly chronic diseases, would unlock a lot of value for society.

A massive ground attack in Rafah would lead to an epic humanitarian disaster.

The international community must speak with one voice for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, the immediate & unconditional release of all hostages, and a massive surge in life-saving aid.

UK stand up tall!

Europe's lack of big tech is not due to over-regulation. It is due to being 27 countries with different rules & languages, having lower immigration than the US, & having much more risk-averse sources of funding & punishing bankruptcy laws. Nathan Benaich. How do we change this?

Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/…

Absolutely incredible new development.

Key noteworthy items:

1. Also launching Alphafold Server - lowering the threshold for starting working on protein protein / ligand interactions (not sure about privacy)

2. Acknowledges the safety issue head on. Not so in previous…
