🚨 New in @ImmunityCP ! EVE-Vax, an AI model that anticipates future viral evolution and designs antigens to proactively test vaccines + therapeutics—before variants even emerge. We envision this work will help make future-proofed vaccines and therapeutics. 👇 (1/7)

Marks Lab is HIRING!!! If you're a software engineer interested in biology, proteins, RNAs, viruses, genomes, etc etc and ML apply here: shorturl.at/GZOqV

🚨 New paper 🚨 RNA modeling just got its own Gym! 🏋️ Introducing RNAGym, large-scale benchmarks for RNA fitness and structure prediction. 🧵 1/9

Sarah Gurev @sarahgurev will work with FutureHouse and the Ovchinnikov @sokrypton and Schmidt Labs @SchmidtLabHMS to develop prediction systems for viral-host protein interactions where no co-evolutionary signal exists. During her MIT doctoral work, she developed pioneering deep…

Did you know AI can predict viral mutations before they emerge? CEPI-supported research from @harvardmed finds that their AI-powered tool EVE-Vax predicted future SARS-CoV-2 variants before they emerged in the real world ⬇️ bit.ly/4df1q43

Superheroes don’t exi…. @taylorahersh wow!!! Inspiring the next generation of scientists! loreal.com/en/usa/video-c…

Excited to share some work from my postdoc! In our recent preprint (w/ @gregorybritten @GeneWeiLiLab Sean Hackett and Mick Follows), we ask how to use proteomic data to estimate in vivo reaction rates? (1/n)

Hey @audible_com! Lots of prisons and jails give incarcerated folks access to tablets, but there is basically nothing on them. Have you thought of putting your app on there, making a subset of books free for listening, and dramatically affecting many lives relatively quickly?

The February issue, with a focus on protein engineering, is live nature.com/nbt/volumes/42… Our cover shows the three data types key to machine learning for functional protein design: structure, sequence and labels, from a Review by Notin et al. go.nature.com/49EPi9x

for the folks who missed @sarahgurev and @nooryoussef03's spectacular seminar last Wednesday, you can now check out the recording 👇 youtu.be/ZgrTrBYZE48

Attempting to change science center of gravity we always dreamed about this. 1st Andean school on host-pathogens dynamics was a blast. @CienBiolAndes #cienciacriolla

En route to Colombia for the Andean School on host-pathogen dynamics! Very excited to have been invited to speak at this event among a great set of scientists! sites.google.com/view/andean-ho…

Out today in @NatureBiotech! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s4158…… @MartinJLercher
