Join us for another day at the #RoyalNorfolkShow to talk about what we do at The Sainsbury Laboratory !




Really excited about our lab's latest paper led by Kevin Korfmann. Here, Kevin has developed a deep, transformer-based language model for population genetics for inferring coalescent times (times of common ancestry) along recombining chromosomes. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New Postdoc position (2yrs) available in our #EvoMPMI lab John Innes Centre. Come and work with on harnessing the diversity of immune mechanisms to protect plants. jobs.jic.ac.uk/Details.asp?va…


Chai Discovery (Joshua Meier Chai Discovery) just released Chai-2, a model for "zero-shot antibody design in a 24-well plate." The most existing result? Chai-2 successfully generated binders for 50% of the 52 targets they assayed (100x better than SOTA)! Some thoughts below:



SO excited to share that I’ve been awarded a grant from O'Shaughnessy Ventures to develop a genetic toolkit for flower design! Here was my 1-minute pitch. To everyone who’s supported my art over the years, thank you. So much to come 🌹✨

Kudos Chih-Hang Wu et al! Cell biology at its best applied to an important question!

Massive #NLRbiology paper drop by Yi-Feng Yi-Feng Chen Chih-Hang Chih-Hang Wu and colleagues 👏 "Single-cell-resolved calcium and organelle dynamics in resistosome-mediated cell death." doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
