(1/10) How do diverse leukemia mutations converge on the same molecular program? In our new study @CellCellPress,the @RibackLab and @Goodell_Lab show that disparate mutations rewire shared protein networks to form nuclear condensates called coordinating bodies (C-bodies).🫧

However, even if you are going to use it, don’t in these post EGFR⛔️cases. @OncoAlert

“garbage in, garbage out”: last week, Nature Methods published an article ( https://t.co/9fPO608NvR) comparing the deep learning models trained on scRNA-seq (single-cell transcriptomes) which were published in recent years — GENEFORMER, scGPT, scBERT, scFoundation, and others.

We are excited to share our work on "closing the loop" 🔄 - a framework enabling single-cell foundation models (scFMs) to learn from experimental validation and dramatically improve their predictive accuracy! (1/n)

Excellent example of the core issue I was trying to get at wrt "virtual cells" - optimizing a prediction objective will not necessarily provide an accurate representation of physical or biological phenomena. It's extremely important to be very clear about this. 1/

Can an AI model predict perfectly and still have a terrible world model? What would that even mean? Our new ICML paper formalizes these questions One result tells the story: A transformer trained on 10M solar systems nails planetary orbits. But it botches gravitational laws 🧵

Still digesting all the data from #ASCO25. Wanted to share my thoughts on a topic I found particularly fascinating: the timing of checkpoint inhibitor infusions. I'm no expert in chronobiology, but the data presented seem compelling and sparks a lot of questions.

This was an amazing effort and practice changing study for LGL leukemia - cyclophosphamide is superior to MTX with respect to ORR with comparable safety - took 10 years to accrue but shows can do RCT in rare hem diseases #EHA25 #EHA2025

Over the last 2 weeks, I took a deep dive into Evo 2, Arc's Genomic Foundation model. But, I couldn't find a crisp primer on Evo 2 that covered the decisions for the ML architecture, the inference-time scaling results or the mechanistic interpretability results. So, I wrote one!

There are traditionally two types of research: problem-driven research and method-driven research. As we’ve seen with large language models and now AlphaEvolve, it should be very clear now that total method-driven research is a huge opportunity. Problem-driven research is nice

Delighted to share our study out in @CellStemCell today from the dream team @PapaemmanuilLab @iannisaifantis1 @AkEisfeld @landau_lab! We profiled IDH-mutated AML patients to define how IDH and co-mutations shape the disease at baseline and responses to IDH-inhibitors. 🧵👇

A number of people have asked me why we titled our recent paper "On the Biology of a Large Language Model". Why call it "biology"?
