Big Congs to Eric! @ericdsun

We are looking for talented postdocs/visiting students to join our team MIT Dept of BE and Koch Institute at MIT to innovate spatial multi-omics technologies, map clinical samples, and integrate AI/ML models to advance next-generation cancer immunotherapy. Please help to spread!!

🚨 We’re hiring Wellcome Sanger Institute! Join us as a Postdoc or ML Scientist to build generative & foundation models for biology. 🧬 Spatial + single-cell omics 🧠 Diffusion, transformers, multimodal data 💊 Drug discovery via Open Targets Apply: Postdocs in computational biology

We're still hiring! Please help share and reach out if you have any questions.

🧬 Excited to open-source Biomni! With just a few lines of code, you can now automate biomedical research with AI agent! We are releasing Biomni A1 (agent) + E1 (env) with 150 specialized tools, 59 databases, and 105 software. E1 is our first attempt at curating the bio-agent

Welcome to Liverpool!

🎉 Congratulations to the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center fellows whose research is being highlighted at #ICML2025 in Vancouver! Be sure to check out their work. 🔗More information: linkedin.com/posts/ewsccent… Broad Institute #SchmidtCenter #ML

The CZI Science workshop on AI Modeling Benchmarking and Evaluation for Biology (virtualcellmodels.cziscience.com/micro-pub/benc…) was well organized with representation from academic, industry, and independent groups. This is a useful summary even though it can't capture all the discussion and ideas.

Excited to be at #ISMBECCB2025! I'll be presenting at RegSys on "Learning the Regulatory Genome by Destruction and Creation" (Thursday 3:15PM in Room 11BC). I'm looking forward to connecting with both new and old friends throughout the conference! 🧬 #CRISPR #Genomics #Diffusion

🎉 Big week at ISMB/ECCB 2025! Congrats to #GENETICS Senior Editor Hongyu Zhao, named an ISCB Fellow for his contributions to computational biology! 👏 And don’t miss #G3Journal Editor in Chief Lauren McIntyre’s “Meet the Editor” session—OUP booth, tomorrow, July 22, 10–11am!

Incredibly honored and grateful to receive the Overton Prize at #ISMBECCB2025♥️ Many thanks to ISCB and my amazing students, collaborators and mentors!🙏

Biomni open source version 0.0.5 is now released! 🎉 Since our last release, we’ve seen amazing contributions from the community: 📊 New Data Sources - OpenFDA and Monarch databases added, panhumanpy for cell type annotation, DepMap data for CRISPR screens and cancer cell lines

I've written the full story of Attention Sinks — a technical deep-dive into how the mechanism was developed and how our research ended up being used in OpenAI's new OSS models. For those interested in the details: hanlab.mit.edu/blog/streaming…
