Equity is an afterthought in tech development, typically arising only after unfair public outcomes are realized - high prices of new drugs, biased AI-algorithms, failure to develop therapies for rare diseases - a cultural shift is needed: https://t.co/5uxqQYtsum

Bravo to Wendell Lim, PhD, and team for making the cover of @ScienceMagazine! The team armed immune cells with “molecular GPS” to find and treat brain cancer, MS and type I diabetes. Clinical trials could begin as soon as 2025. @CDI_UCSF @ARPA_H @theNCI

A newly developed “molecular GPS” to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming healthy tissue is the first living cell therapy that can navigate through the body to a specific...
An engineered T cell (center) is designed to deliver therapies to the brain. This T cell displays orange synthetic receptors on its surface, which recognize components of extracellular matrix fibers that are only found in the brain. Within the cell, downstream signaling pathways

Congrats, @fraser_lab! Up to $30M from @ARPA_H for AI-driven effort to speed drug discovery by mapping interactions that cause side effects, with @QBI_UCSF 's help.
ucsf.edu
With the help of up to $30M in funding, researchers led by UCSF’s James Fraser, PhD, will use AI to map drug “anti-targets,” aiming to speed up drug development and reduce costs.

Creativity, the start point for science, is typically unacknowledged – yet it is the spark that illuminates an unimagined puzzle, gives form to a new hypothesis. Can creativity be taught? Yes. Read our letter @ScienceMagazine @ItaiYanai @MartinJLercher

@kryamamoto @UCSF Keith asks @dariogila @IBM to speak to the role of government and the private sector in promoting the #STEMworkforce. He says: Responsibilities to grow and invest in the STEM workforce are highly disturbed, but coordination can be a challenge as a result. #RAForum #StraightTalk
