Hub-and-Spoke Biotechs: Nimbus Therapeutics I wrote about how Nimbus's fundamental business model innovation enabled them to make blockbuster drug deals—without selling their entire company. Here's how they built an "evergreen" R&D engine. centuryofbio.com/p/nimbus

We’ve just finished writing the missing 15,616 Wikipedia articles to get complete coverage of all 19,255 human genes. We used PaperQA2, which has higher accuracy than existing human-written Wikipedia articles, as judged by blinded biology PhD students and postdocs. 1/5

nature.com/articles/s4156… Rare variant analysis uncovers 14 neuroticism-associated genes. Notable that two genes (PTPRE and ITGB2) showed protective effects against neuroticism...

nature.com/articles/s4158… Huh, even when controlling for age, sex, smoking status and tumor mutational burden, Tang et. al find that obesity is associated with oncogenic driver mutations.

The prices of cancer drugs in the United States have increased significantly after their initial launch, compared to more stable pricing observed in European countries. A particularly pronounced effect is seen in oncology. shorturl.at/wEVV0

Today in nature we share our back-to-back stories with Ning Zheng revealing chemical-genetic convergence between a molecular glue & E3 ligase cancer mutations. 1/6

nature Yet Nature is still charging $4-$10,000 or similar to publish an article open source & $30-$50,000 or similar per year for access to their own research. This is what crushes PhD careers & is why Nature is named in a class action antitrust lawsuit led by a Berkeley professor.

Another update: It’s been another eventful week. After getting the diagnosis of AML/myeloid sarcoma, we talked again to so many (thanks again for all the engagement). We’ve decided to go to St Jude’s to enroll in a clinical trial. We left for Memphis yesterday and started getting

Great and highly creative work by Nolan Kamitaki to identify show how human host genetics influence genetic variation in oral bacteria. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

i'm just a senior postdoc, standing in front of a career that i have worked really hard for, asking higher education in the united states to not completely implode in front of my eyes before i even get a chance to say the words 'my lab studies'

As a contrast, Eric Turkheimer gets a lot of grief from online racists and yet his prediction that genomic measurements of behavior would be incoherent has been largely vindicated. A prediction made when the field was still chasing big candidate genes. faculty.umb.edu/peter_taylor/e…

Rigorously applying this approach is critical for all complex diseases; cutting across data modalities and not just stopping once 'enrichment' analyses finds p-values, but actively finding genuinely novel and specific biology nature.com/articles/s4158…

Syria: An eyewitness shares about the Islamist attack at St. Elias Church in Damascus today. According to him, two jihadists stormed the church—one opened fire on worshippers; the second detonated himself. Approximately 200 Christians were inside the church at the time. Pray

I remember my professor noting how short the double helix paper was. Huxley and Hodgkin’s paper on the action potential is the same. Just a couple pages, yet completely revolutionary. nature.com/articles/14471…
