excited to share & release ProtNote! 🧬📰 ProtNote enables protein-function annotation on new, unseen functions by fusing LLM embeddings of text descriptions w/ protein sequence embeddings 📎biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🖥️ github.com/microsoft/prot… led by the incredible Samir Char

We made sequences generated by EvoDiff in the lab! - Unconditional generations express, fold, and exhibit expected secondary structure elements - We inpaint functional intrinsically-disordered regions and scaffold binders

We compared the calibration of various machine learning uncertainty estimation methods for protein engineering. No method excels across all scenarios, and uncertainty-based strategies for optimization often did not outperform methods without uncertainty.

How well do single-cell foundation models perform w/o finetuning? Our work Genome Biology shows that in zero-shot settings, scGPT and Geneformer often underperform traditional methods, raising questions about their utility for biological discovery. 📰 genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Read our preprint that demonstrates a growing bias in medical imaging datasets against pediatrics, and how it impacts downstream AI development! Props to our first author Stanley Hua, who among many other feats, filtered hundreds of datasets/papers to establish this trend.

Was incredible to work with Arushi during her summer internship - check out her preprint showing that single cell representation learning methods for microscopy can be confounded by cells in the background of their inputs!

Read our Microsoft Research blog post about how the lack of pediatric patient representation in public medical imaging datasets is limiting the benefits of medical AI for children: microsoft.com/en-us/research…
