The process of “spinning out” science from universities is broken. Why?👇🏾🧵

Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg on Curing All Disease We sat down with Dr. Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, co-founders of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, to discuss their ambitious plan to cure, prevent, and manage all disease by the end of the century. CZI’s Biohub aims

ES will be joining forces with @Biohub to create the first large-scale scientific initiative combining frontier AI & frontier biology. Together, we're building world-class compute, AI research & state-of-the-art technologies to cure or prevent disease.

Today CZI is announcing an unprecedented new scientific initiative to build the future of AI-powered biology. I am joining CZI to lead this initiative as Head of Science, and the EvolutionaryScale team is joining forces with Biohub. This is the first large scale scientific

Biotechnology is about the predictable engineering of life, such that we can protect it and proliferate it through the Universe. Biotechnology ought to cure all complex diseases (so far, we have cured zero.) It ought to prevent infectious diseases, and remove needless suffering

A scientist in 2040 doesn't hold a pipette. They explore the complete molecular atlas of an organoid on a computer screen, zooming in from regions of whole tissue to single proteins. A synthetic heart grows in front of them, the graphics on their screen rendered in real time from

This specific mechanism actually seems novel, but for those unfamiliar with immunology literature: - Silmitasertib has already been shown to modulate MHC (specifically HLA-I) on tumors [1] - CK2 known to sit on the IFN > STAT1>IRF1>MHC axis [2] - CK2 inhibition known to

The @AsimovPress podcast is coming soon. My first episode is on using AI to create new antibiotics with @delafuentelab. Here is the first ~3.5 minutes of an hour-long episode. Also, I'm looking for a video editor to help me out! Please DM if you're interested.

Published today in @ScienceMagazine: a landmark study led by Microsoft scientists with partners, showing how AI-powered protein design could be misused—and presenting first-of-its-kind red teaming & mitigations to strengthen biosecurity in the age of AI.

In the era of AI slop video make movies instead https://t.co/YZSZiY7h9g

One of my favorite days of the year 5050 US Cohort 7 is kicked off and humming Now with more AI safety, and retro spaceship HQ 🚀

we're turning @fiftyyears into an immersive deep tech theater company :-P

Excited to share this work from my PhD! See our structure below of a computationally designed IL-21 mimic with anti-tumor efficacy in mice. A collaboration between the David Baker, Stephanie & Mike Dougan, Warren Leonard, and Chris Garcia labs.

#CELLFIE for CAR T screening, out in @Nature today—a new mRNA-based platform for screening primary cells. CAR + gRNA library are delivered by lentivirus, CRISPR modifiers as electroporated mRNA. That’s more flexible and effective than existing T cell screening methods. (1/7)

Am joining @fiftyyears in their program to help researchers build startups for safe and aligned AI. Don't Die is a mission for safe and aligned AI. Working alongside of @woj_zaremba, Jaan Tallinn, @eshear, @inkynumbers, @dileeplearning, and @RonnieChatterji.

I'm thrilled to share our new study out in @NatureMedicine! We show that a blood test can estimate how aged or youthful one’s organs are and that these organ ages predict future disease and lifespan. Final paper from my PhD in the @wysscoray lab. 🧵1/12 🔗

Fifty Years has been cooking 🍳 a very cool event for those interested in translating their research!! Stanford, Berkeley, UW and Caltech, this is your chance :)

Startups are the best way to scale the impact of research. At 50Y, we've helped 100s of scientists go from lab bench to founding. Want to learn how deep tech companies get started and how to grow into a great founder? Join us at Stanford, Berkeley, UW, or Caltech 👇

Make something civilization needs.

We talked to @ElliotHershberg (Partner @AmplifyPartners) about the challenges in life sciences technology. "There has been a general sentiment that you can make a huge amount of progress with new data and new technology in life sciences." "It actually turns out that it's really

We're sponsoring the use of ESM3 and EMSC to help researchers engineer improved PETase enzymes in the @AlignBio 2025 Protein Engineering Tournament. Get started using ESMC to predict protein function and ESM3 to generate new enzymes here:
