Explore “functionally-directed multi-omics (FDMO)” at #ISMBECCB2023 poster 1374 presented by Pisanu Ize Buphamalai, which augments multi-omics with functional data from highthroughput ex vivo screens in primary cancer samples for target ID & drug repurposing bit.ly/ISMB_1374

Can structural biology prevent the next #pandemic? Many thanks to the PAD initiative and Novo Nordisk Foundation for funding a Rhodes University🇿🇦+Cambridge University🇬🇧 collaboration to test if we can make antiviral drugs that are immune to resistance mutations! padinitiative.com/awarded-grants… Ian Goodfellow

Have a listen to Exscientia's CEO Andrew Hopkins talk to Alice Hopkins (no relation!) on BBC Oxfordshire about the use of AI in drug discovery & precision medicine (at 1.47.00) - inbetween the Pet Shop Boys and Otis Reading - nice! #EXAI; bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…


Very much looking forward to working with Ozlem Tastan Bishop and Stephen Graham's Lab on this project. The project uses a fantastic combination of computational and biochemical approaches to probe mechanism of antiviral drug resistance.


Exscientia will start a new #AI drug discovery collaboration with Merck Healthcare, combining our AI-driven precision design capabilities with Merck’s oncology & I&I expertise, clinical capabilities. ($20M u/f, $674M total to $EXAI); investors.exscientia.ai/press-releases…

Thank you to the Asia PGI for hosting ARTIC Network as trainers for the first Oxford Nanopore sequencing workshop. Amazing teams, flu libraries and metagenomic trouble shooting 🦠🧬🕵️


We’re hiring! Looking for a structural enzymologist to join a 🇬🇧+🇿🇦 collaboration to understand how viral enzymes evolve resistance to antiviral drugs. Details: padinitiative.com/awarded-grants… Apply: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/42708/ Come work with us to help save the world from the next pandemic!
