Today we're unveiling Dimension II: a $500M fund to support and partner with the leading builders at the vanguard of life sciences and technology. To our entrepreneurs, past present and future: Our work is far from done. LFG.

Lurie's approval rating is stunning. Even the ultra-left support him now. For context, Breed's approval rating was 28% and she did not lose by a huge margin (2% in the first round, 10% ultimately).

There have been many difficult days for our team in Gaza. Today, we reached a new low point. This cannot continue.

We’re excited to announce the first subjects have been dosed in a Phase 1 study of MRT-8102, a NEK7-directed MGD being developed for inflammatory conditions linked to the NLRP3 inflammasome, IL-1β, and IL-6. Learn more: bit.ly/4m5JOe7

AI models are starting to pay dividends on anti-aging drug discovery Great paper from @newlimit Check out their careers site if you want to work at the intersection of AI + longevity

"you have to be in the water" a close analogy to beautiful chinese concept we've been playing with internally: fengkou 风口 ~ you have to be in the water to catch the best waves

Excellent blog post by @jacobkimmel on why pharma progress has slowed down over the last many decades, and why some people are optimistic about a big speedup over the next few years. Eroom's Law (coined by @jackscn) says that the number of drugs per billion dollars decline…

Fantastic post. Useful intuitions on both why we discovered the major drugs of the past in the order we did, and why we should be quite hopeful for the next decade.

i see this question a lot

NewLimit paper just dropped @icmlconf showing our SOTA AI models can predict perturbed cell states. Helps to have the largest primary cell perturbation dataset in the world. Bonus points for one of the first demonstration of active learning in bio.

reprogramming cells with transcription factors is our most expressive tool for engineering cell state traditionally, we found TFs by ~guesswork @icmlconf we're sharing @newlimit's SOTA AI models that can design reprogramming payloads by building on molecular foundation models

Each of us at @RecursionPharma have our own reasons for doing what we do. For some, it's a chance to take a swing at diseases that stole a loved one away from us too early. For others, it's the challenge of working on really hard problems with really smart people. And for others…

my partner @SimonDBarnett far more precise and articulate than i on this topic. dead on.
