Medicine's Endgame 🧬 What is a medicine? For most of us, medicines are small pills in white bottles with cotton tops. They have complicated names that evade quick recall and seem to get more expensive the sicker we get, but by and large they are miraculous. As a species, our

This week in AI: Have LLMs achieved AGI and become too powerful for humanity? This week in Biotech: Should we stop building powerful bio platforms altogether and focus on single drug companies? Need more accel in bio.

𝐀𝐈 𝐱 𝐁𝐢𝐨 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭: Digital Biology Co-Founder & CEO Emma West describes how the AI field is moving on from modeling protein folding to a next phase of better understanding binding function.

a core tension in applying "virtual cell" models to therapeutic development is the mismatch between the scale at which we measure biology and the scale at which we intervene. we often measure at the cell level (eg single-cell RNA-seq), but we treat at the tissue or organ level
