A genAI model developed at MIT designs proteins & peptides of any modality to bind to different biomolecular targets. The system, called "BoltzGen," unifies design & structure prediction. It's freely available for unrestricted academic & commercial use: https://t.co/ZonN7vHHW0

This was a fun project that started on the first day of my postdoc as I chatted with @KraftKaterina over coffee. Thanks to our advisors - @HowardYChang and @mischellab - and the support of Team eDyNAmiC through @CancerGrand for helping us push it across the finish line.

Delighted to share our new study in @NatureCellBio showing that the unique epigenetic landscape of ecDNA can enable the oncogenic enhancer activation of transposable elements! This was a fantastic collaboration between @KraftKaterina and @SedonaMurphy.

Looking forward, I am launching my lab in the @kochinstitute and @MIT_IMES at @MIT, and will continue studying how the unique regulatory landscape of ecDNA enables tumor evolution. We're looking for creative scientists to push this frontier - if you're interested, get in touch!
