It’s about growth, collaboration, and the chance to give back by lifting others.
Two flagship opportunities are now open:

🔷 Activator 2026
— our equity-free accelerator equipping scientific founders with the tools to launch biotech ventures. Apply by Oct 20.

Of course, but you first need the info. Right now it is like driving a car blindfolded...

We then spend hundreds of billions treating what could have been avoided.

Why aren’t we doing this by default?

Lots of work remain: (1) We only show this ability on protein→cells. (2) We haven’t used other fine tuning methods than adapter layers for now.

I would love to talk about these ideas with people and will be at ICML in Vancouver and ISMB/ECCB in Liverpool! ✈️

We show that this helps the models learn faster, achieve better results on many test metrics and create better representations.

This is an early proof of concept toward this grand goal of modeling life across scales.

By using common fine-tuning mechanism we show how one can train from one scale to the next by back-propagating signal to the compressed tokens and lower scale model.
June 20, 2025 at 9:06 AM
By using cross attention and an auto-encoding mechanism we present XPressor, a framework that creates compressed tokens from a scale (e.g. proteins) that can be used as inputs tokens by the scale above (e.g. cells)

Each group of biologist are on their own niche and so too are the models. But These models talk about different steps of the same stair.

We present ideas on how we might end up training models from atoms to organs by using transformers to compress 🔺 🔻 data into tokens used by larger scale models
