Getting data from human biology is the gold standard in drug development. But how do you get it without running a clinical trail? This new work measures effect of T cell receptor sequence on clinical outcome in humans--just from observational data! x.com/EliWeinstein6/…

So pleased our work on #VariationalSynthesis was selected as one of the top 4 papers at MIT Jameel Clinic for AI & Health #MoML2024. Eli Weinstein will be giving a short talk in person if you'd like to learn more live.
