Virtual Cells: Predict, Explain, Discover １．This paper outlines a bold vision for “virtual cells”—computational models that can predict cellular responses to perturbations, explain those responses through molecular mechanisms, and discover new biology via lab-in-the-loop

1/ Introducing TxPert: a new model that predicts transcriptional responses across diverse biological contexts It’s designed to generalize across unseen single-gene perturbations, novel combinations of gene perturbations, and even new cell types 🧵

What’s needed for a virtual cell to succeed in drug discovery? A new perspective paper from Recursion and our AI research engine Valence Labs lays out our vision for a virtual cell as a system that can reliably drive the discovery of new drugs via an iterative loop of: predict,

For over a decade at Recursion, we've been driven by a core belief: truly understanding biology, and ultimately accelerating drug discovery, starts with building the right datasets. Every week we run millions of experiments in our highly automated wet lab to generate this

There is something deeply ironic about Trump lecturing South Africa for not arresting a man for giving populist, racially charged speeches that target ethic minorities.

Fantastic work everyone

Guess what??? Gen AI works for chemistry! 🤯💥 Generate co-folding → Generate ligand ensemble → Predict affinity → Generate synthesizable strong binders

These (by Michele Caprio) are really a great set of slides--they do very well to motivate credal ML and more generally the basics of imprecise probabilities-based ML. They also provide a great set of foundational references (books + papers). dropbox.com/scl/fi/zsnb215…

Would love help identifying amazing ML researchers with strong connections to Canada who are currently outside Canada (thus potentially targets for recruitment as US situation deteriorates). DMs please. Retweet please.
