We had a packed room at Night of Neurotech last night! Neuro is getting hotter than ever! 🔥

🧵1/ LBF7 Spain is happening and we're doing something kinda wild: -We’re gathering the smartest people who want to SOLVE AGING -going to a longevity resort in the Spanish mountains -to learn, discuss and ACTUALLY BUILD stuff for 7 days straight Here’s what we’re cooking 👇

Mapping the off-target effects of every FDA-approved drug in existence (EvE Bio) 6.2k words, 29 minutes reading time owlposting.com/p/mapping-the-… this is a very long essay over EvE Bio, a data collection effort that you should know about (it's associated w/ Convergent Research!)

1/4 🚀 Announcing the 2025 Protein Engineering Tournament. This year’s challenge: design PETase enzymes, which degrade the type of plastic in bottles. Can AI-guided protein design help solve the climate crisis? Let’s find out! ⬇️ #AIforBiology #ClimateTech #ProteinEngineering

NEW: No technology currently exists to repair damaged brain tissue and fully restore lost function. FRONT aims to enable millions with what is considered permanent brain damage to regain lost functions, including motor control, vision, and speech. arpa-h.gov/news-and-event…

Excited to have Victor Holmes join E11 Bio as Chief of Staff! 🎉

FROs are now in US National Policy!

How can we identify what capabilities will matter most in an increasingly intelligence-saturated world? 1. Avoid fast obsolescence 2. Complement AI 3. Use the steering wheel, not just the pedals 4. Imagine good futures + our AI-inflected priorities across 7 fields. Read on:

Let's go ahead and freak you out this week. Brain implant maker Forest Neurotech is finding that people in comas can indeed hear and understand what's going on around them.

We are hiring a spatial -omics scientist! 🧬🔬🧠

Is the longevity field making progress? Norn Group formed in 2021 to address that question. We’ve now built a website to make it clear who we are and how we work to make longevity medicine real. Read on for a summary, and some of our outputs.

Congrats Sven Truckenbrodt and Alex S. Araki!

This June, we kicked off our first-ever UK FRO Founder Residency as an Activation Partner for the United Kingdom’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA ).

Great opportunity for neuro founders!

When nature has a problem to solve, it makes a protein. Now, with the help of AI, what we used to have to do with electronics or optics we can increasingly do through biology. Starting with the world’s most sensitive optogenetic channels. Paper linked below ⬇️

Reversible cryopreservation! Congrats Laura 🌲 ⛰️ and team!
