Make something civilization needs.

During my sabbatical, one project I really enjoyed was training DNA foundation models with the team at Arc Institute. I've long believed that deep learning should unlock unprecedented improvements in medicine and healthcare — not just for humans but for animals too. I think this

It only takes a few people dedicated to building science fiction technologies for the rest of humanity to enjoy them forever.

o3.. "I'm graduating undergrad, what the hell do I do now?!" "Software engineering is dead!!" It's never been a better time to be a curious person. Knowing how computers work is still (if not more) valuable. Use these tools to make an abundant future in the world of atoms!

Finishing 2024 with one more research result! We’ve trained small language agents to do hard sci tasks: engineering proteins, manipulating DNA, and working with sci literature in a new library called Aviary. We beat humans and frontier LLMs on these tasks!

Our second book is now available for pre-order. 🎉 Embracing the book's technology theme, we did something special: We encoded the entire book into DNA & packaged it into stainless steel capsules, where it will live for tens of thousands of years. 1,000 copies were made... 🧵

This is gorgeoussssss😍

Just now: Arc Institute and NVIDIA release Evo 2, the largest AI model for biology. It is fully open-source. Evo 2 can predict which mutations in a gene are likely to be pathogenic, or even design entire eukaryotic genomes. We covered it in Asimov Press! Check it out 🔻

Ah abstraction …. May it come for us in DNA programming someday

We need a better plant bioengineering toolkit.

Progress in biology is too slow. Even simple experiments often take several days of work to complete. Software, by contrast, compiles in seconds. It's what makes programming "flow-inducing." We need faster feedback loops in biology. Our latest article explains where to start🔻

Data is the oil of modern biotech. New tools allow us to model living systems too complex for unaided human cognition. Latch is releasing a new capabilities in data curation + delivery: - 30M observational cell atlas across 150 diseases, 200 tissues, 27 technologies - a

What Are Virtual Cells? centuryofbio.com/p/virtual-cell Two months ago, I started working on an essay to answer this question. The goal was to cover a few of the recent research results. Simple as that! Instead, I went down a rabbit hole exploring ideas around cellular simulation

We're sponsoring the use of ESM3 and EMSC to help researchers engineer improved PETase enzymes in the @AlignBio 2025 Protein Engineering Tournament. Get started using ESMC to predict protein function and ESM3 to generate new enzymes here: github.com/evolutionarysc…

I'm thrilled to share our new study out in Nature Medicine! We show that a blood test can estimate how aged or youthful one’s organs are and that these organ ages predict future disease and lifespan. Final paper from my PhD in the Tony Wyss-Coray lab. 🧵1/12 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4159…

We talked to Elliot Hershberg (Partner Amplify Partners) about the challenges in life sciences technology. "There has been a general sentiment that you can make a huge amount of progress with new data and new technology in life sciences." "It actually turns out that it's really

Startups are the best way to scale the impact of research. At 50Y, we've helped 100s of scientists go from lab bench to founding. Want to learn how deep tech companies get started and how to grow into a great founder? Join us at Stanford, Berkeley, UW, or Caltech 👇

Fifty Years has been cooking 🍳 a very cool event for those interested in translating their research!! Stanford, Berkeley, UW and Caltech, this is your chance :)
