The Return of the Blog! After almost 2 years (!) at the new gig, I'm trying to write more again. First up, a post on pushing for open-source science in biotech and BioML. open.substack.com/pub/ncfrey/p/o…

I am pleased to share that I received the Roche Innovation award w/ Maria Bordukova Fabian Schmich Raul Rodriguez-Esteban and Michael Menden Stay tuned for our next work coming out soon!

We are thrilled to announce that the AMIA 2024 NLP Working Group Pre-symposium will take place on November 16, 2023, in San Francisco, CA. pittnail.github.io/AMIANLP2024/

we're hiring! 🎉 looking for a technical PM for our LLM team at Prescient Design Genentech! feel free to reach out in DMs or via email: prescient at gene dot com

And the proceedings of the #SMM4H workshop are out! If you can't make it this week to #ACL2024 to see our colleague Vishakha Sharma, here are the goodies: aclanthology.org/2024.smm4h-1.4… ACL 2025 Graciela Gonzalez-Hernandez, PhD Abeed Sarker, PhD Davy Weissenbacher Juan M.

Looking forward to hosting the workshop and the talks! #ACL2024NLP #SMM4H

I'm hiring! 🎉 Keunwoo Choi and I are looking for ML engineers interested in training & deploying our own in-house LLMs for drug discovery at Prescient Design / Genentech. Apply and feel free to reach out! careers.gene.com/us/en/job/2024…

Introducing DT-GPT: showing that LLMs can forecast patient trajectories (1/8) Pre-print here 👉 medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Big thanks to Maria Bordukova & Raul Rodriguez-Esteban Fabian Schmich Michael Menden University of Melbourne Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich Roche

Very exciting work from our lab on AI-empowered digital twins predicting patient trajectories. It is my strong belief that large language and foundation models will shape the landscape of precision medicine. Here is the tweetorial👇

So happy to see DT-GPT featured here!
