"Do you know why Batman's rogues are these everlasting icons? It's because most of the time, they are victims. Victims of abuse, mental illness, their own ego." HiTop Alex This was brilliant. youtu.be/CN7CC5lDsrs

Been eating, breathing, dreaming proteins while building out a protein toolkit at LatchBio Check out the blog to see how I created synthetic plastic-degrading enzyme "ideas" — and how Brontë Kolar designed binders for a cholesterol target shorturl.at/dCvai

Wild that in 2024 anyone can design cancer-fighting proteins from their laptop and get them designed for free. Adaptyv Bio is running a competition to design EGFR-targeting proteins, with top designs getting tested to see if they block EGF from interacting with the receptor!

Modern biotechs are industrial research labs that must fight nature and coordinate diverse teams before running out of money. Few online resources breakdown company structure + show how experiments flow between teams. We walk through a mock campaign, from ideation to IND, to

reproducing academic computational work is similar to performing an exorcism the ancient texts (github) make no sense and someone will likely end up dead (crying)

home after a year and i have been informed that we now ‘cohabitate’ with a snake that no one has been able to catch for 3 months ???

building cool shit Brontë Kolar Zeon Systems (YC X25)

YC is the YC of hard tech

Industry is caught between ~$500k/unit flagship handlers (Hamilton STARs, Tecan Fluents) and maker-style Opentrons. Neither category have eaten away at true quantity of wasted labor (think of simply as # hours on rote tasks multiplied across capable scientists). Walk into your

Introducing Sim Studio The fastest way to build AI agents

Billboards for Zeon Systems (YC X25) are up in SF! We won our YC group’s product showcase with a live demo of our AI-powered lab automation. Wild to see our mission on the 101. Huge thanks to Y Combinator + our partners (Dalton Caldwell, Aaron Epstein, David Lieb, Jon Xu) for sponsoring this.

Theorem (Theorem) is an AI-coding IDE for mission-critical software. They're making program verification 10,000 times faster, so your systems code does exactly what you asked for. Congrats on the launch, Jason Gross and Rajashree Agrawal! ycombinator.com/launches/NZA-t…

proud dad video of my children practicing loading lab equipment at Stanford early days still but so much cool stuff coming soon Zeon Systems (YC X25)

sick

most days, we automate science. on Y Combinator’s x25 demo day, we automated cocktails. congrats to everyone on an insane batch!

robots rotate, Brontë potates (we are hiring Zeon Systems (YC X25) so please reach out if you want to work in robotics + ml + science)
