Agreed. Pipette for Power!
Totally agree that standard biological data isn't built for AI. We need to think strategically about how we build better, less biased richer datasets specifically for machine learning
The biggest challenge for AI in biology isn't just models, it's the data used to train them. Standard biological data isn't built for AI. To unlock generative AI for drug discovery, we must rethink how we generate and capture data. 1/
