Generative genomics predicts future and impossible experiments! Read the new preprint from Synthesize Bio: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and anyone can try our models on the cloud or in R/Python! product.synthesize.bio

Honored to see the Cancer AI Alliance included on TIME's list of the TIME100 AI of 2025! #TIME100AI.

CAIA has been a true team sport based on the shared commitment of all our Alliance members to accelerate cancer research and ultimately improve and save patient’s lives.

Code from my first live R package demo talk in honor of Hadley at #jsm2025

Steve Salerno, Awan Afiaz, and I have been developing the scorcher package to help you more easily fit deep learning models in R !

The highlight of my #jsm2025 talk was @hadley.nz roasting the panel with ChatGPT.😂

I also love that he talked about aspiring to kindness!

Synthesize Bio's platform is awesome as a teaching tool. In just a couple of minutes you can (a) find a dataset, (b) run a validated workflow like @mikelove.bsky.social's published EDA workflow, and (c) share with your friends:

Really excited about releasing our platform for integrating gene expression data - search for and easily integrate multiple datasets app.synthesize.bio/datasets, analyze them in Notebooks, and sign up for our beta for AI-generated gene expression data from experimental designs!

Watching one of the world’s leading scientists talk about one of the world’s most important studies; Garnet Anderson from @fredhutch.bsky.social reflecting on 30 years of the Women’s Health Initiative. Such an incredible force for good over 3+ decades
