אז למה צריך "רפורמה" שאלתם? זה למה. מזל שהיו חרדים שדרשו מימוש מהיר. אחרת הצפרדע (אנחנו) כבר היתה מתבשלת ממזמן.
1/ Today we announce Pleiades, a series of epigenetic foundation models (90M→7B params) trained on 1.9T tokens of human methylation & genomic data. Pleiades accurately models epigenetics for genomic track prediction, generation & neurodegenerative disease detection from cfDNA,…
Love this program! Longevity replacement therapy for the most important organ - the brain 🧠
NEW: No technology currently exists to repair damaged brain tissue and fully restore lost function. FRONT aims to enable millions with what is considered permanent brain damage to regain lost functions, including motor control, vision, and speech. arpa-h.gov/news-and-event…
LETS GO! A new high impact program from @ARPA_H. FRONT will restore lost function to the brain. Congrats to @Replacing_Aging and team.

AI is incredible. But the more I study defensibility in AI, the more magical bio seems. Breakthroughs in techbio are inherently defensible (Tech founders, come to bio!) That said, great AI founders know how to build defensibility. Great framework for building it from…
What if flu vaccines really worked? And I mean *really* worked—to the point that humanity's endemic relationship with influenza became history, not an ongoing global health challenge. What if we could mitigate *all* rapidly mutating pathogens? This is why Jake Glanville…
Big milestone: Centivax has closed a $45M oversubscribed Series A! Led by Steve Jurvetson @FutureVenture with NFX, BOLD, Amplify, Base4, Kendall, and others. Dr. Emilio Emini (ex-Pfizer, Merck, Gates MRI) joins our Board. Universal vaccines are coming. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
Smash the mutants 🦠 to end the pandemic era for humanity — with a single shot for all flu and then coronaviruses, HIV, herpes, malaria, cancer and more! These scourges have evaded effective vaccines because they continuously mutate their outer epitopes to evade our immune…
Yes! And here is a registration-free version of the article: endpoints.news/wp-content/upl…
🧵1/ LBF7 Spain is happening and we're doing something kinda wild: -We’re gathering the smartest people who want to SOLVE AGING -going to a longevity resort in the Spanish mountains -to learn, discuss and ACTUALLY BUILD stuff for 7 days straight Here’s what we’re cooking 👇
Longevity is also the answer for the @DeptofDefense mission! Our warfighters are putting their bodies in harms way and longevity in service to the mission AND after return to civilian life is critical!!! We believe that here @DARPA Great post by @omri_drory and thank you for…
Longevity is an answer to so many of the challenges facing America. → Exploding debt + deficits → Slowing GDP → Declining fertility We go into it in detail here (and details matter here, so it's worth the extra characters). nfx.com/post/longevity… Simplified argument…
