had fun talking about RL and protein eng. with Nathaniel Blalock at the 3rd Duke Center for Quantitative Biodesign symposium. it was so cool meeting Kevin K. Yang 楊凱筌, Tom Sercu, and Bashor Lab, and we’re humbled you recognized our work with a runner-up award.

Introducing ESM Cambrian. Unsupervised learning can invert biology at scale to reveal the hidden structure of the natural world. We’ve scaled up compute and data to train a new generation of protein language models. ESM C defines a new state of the art for protein

Excited that sri and I will be attending our 1st NeurIPS conference and presenting our preliminary work in the Functional Alignment of Protein Language Models via Reinforcement Learning with Experimental Feedback! We'd love to talk ab/ our work with those attending!

Congratulations to Professor Vatsan Raman on being named a UWResearch Vilas Associate. “This award is truly meaningful, as it enables us to ask bigger, bolder questions and push the boundaries of science and technology,” says Raman. biochem.wisc.edu/2025/03/11/vat…

Happy Sunday to all! This morning, we are excited to share Chase’s work developing a simple, scalable method to assemble 100s-1000s of custom genes from oligo pools using standard lab tools! (Small 🧵 below)

Great article, simple reminder about the value of higher education! engineering.wisc.edu/blog/why-we-do…

Five of our faculty discuss what inspires their research, their drive to innovate, and their entrepreneurial pursuits on and off the UW–Madison campus: biochem.wisc.edu/2025/04/14/fiv…

never would have thought Nathaniel Blalock and i’s work would be presented in the same seminar session as Dr. David R. Liu - continually grateful for these surreal moments in my young career

New exciting work in multi-objective, machine learning-guided bacteriophage design from Nathan Novy in the Vatsan Raman and Romero lab labs!
