Our paper benchmarking foundation models for perturbation effect prediction is finally published 🎉🥳🎉

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We show that none of the available* models outperform simple linear baselines. Since the original preprint, we added more methods, metrics, and prettier figures!

In times when science must defend itself, the decision by the German Research Foundation (DFG) to significantly support German universities through the Excellence Initiative for the next seven years is a signal that stands unparalleled.

Such a wonderful example of what genetic screens can tell us about human patho/physiology.

Cudos @mgarnett.bsky.social, Fiona Behan and many more.
Six years after the discovery of WRN synthetic lethality in MSI cancers, WRN inhibitors hit center stage again today at #aacr25 with report of the first in human phase 1 trial data for RO7589831. Can’t wait to see it!

A record low…. only 16% of Germans think that Germany can trust the US.

A record fast…. never before lost a US president support for its political agenda that fast.

Deutschlandtrend der ARD: Nur 16 Prozent halten USA noch für vertrauenswürdig
Bleiben die USA der wichtigste Verbündete Europas? Die große Mehrheit in Deutschland glaubt einer Umfrage zufolge offenbar nicht mehr an eine gute Zusammenarbeit.

If you search for unexpected phenotypes (genetic interactions), aren't they expected when observed? 🤔

Which rate do you consider appropriate,

10% or 1% ?

Incredibly proud of my PhD student @MartinWegner for receiving this year’s PhD award of the @GoetheUniversityFrankfurt. 🎉🎊🥳🍾

I guess with 11 papers, multiple patents, and a spinoff, it’s kind of deserved 🤔
