๐Ÿ’” Shocked, saddened by the strike that damaged labs at the Weizmann Institute . Having attended Single-Cell-Genomics meeting organized by Ido Amit and my mentor Aviv Regev, I experienced an amazing campus filled with pursuit of knowledge, science, and freedom. Biton Lab

Thrilled to host Dr. John Jumper of Google DeepMind at Stanford today for a special seminar on #AlphaFold and the future of AI-powered biologyโ€”co-organised with my brilliant colleague Anshul Kundaje (anshulkundaje@bluesky). Amazing to watch #AI and #Genomics converge! #Stanford #DeepMind

Our collaborative work, #RNAGenesis, led by Zaixi Zhang and team, delivers a Generalist RNA Foundation Model (full weights released!), end-to-end pipeline that understand, design, validate functional RNAsโ€”from nM affinity aptamers to CRISPR scaffolds that lift editing efficiency

Perhaps we need more Soham-for-Bio, more AI, more data/benchmark, more multi-tasking, more trials/errors, instead of thinking weโ€™ve hit โ€œthe wallโ€. I do not even see the โ€œwallโ€. #SohamParekh #ai #drugdesign #bio #science #more

Just returned from ICML 2025 where I had the honor of keynoting three remarkable workshops. Grateful for the opportunity to delve into topics like self-evolving Alita agents, CRISPR-GPT for AI-driven science, Genome-Bench, reinforcement-learning agents, and AI biosafety. Special
