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/

If there's such a thing as AI for drug design & development on easy mode, then it's probably in being able to build and test every design.

I'll be attending my first ever #JPM this January. Please reach out if you will be there, too, and are interested in meeting up, or have suggestions for events I should attend.
I'm not eager to cross the picket line of striking SF hotel workers -- any ideas for accommodation? Would Palo Alto work?

At the Danaher AI Summit in SF. Something I learned — in the 1948 Declaration of Human Rights? The right to the benefit of the proceeds of science.

Looking forward to this event tomorrow. It's been so wonderful visiting Basel so far: it probably won't come as a surprise, but the city is really gorgeous and with wonderful trams.
Here are two pictures from the university's botanical gardens as the sun was setting.

I feel lucky that I get to travel to Basel next week and see @jura.bsky.social's European HQ for the first time in person.
This event is already sold out, but please let me know if you're based in Switzerland and would like to meet up while I'm in town -- both Basel and Zurich!

Julie came from Boston to pose for @jura.bsky.social headshots this weekend. Hopefully we’ll have some nice news coming out this week or next! In the meantime, here’s one of the pictures that didn’t make it…

Looking forward to this upcoming talk, moderated by the wonderful Dr. Sandhya Prabhakaran, as part of the SITC-NCI Computational Immuno-oncology seminar series! It will be my first time speaking about antibody design and discovery, and is free to everyone, so I hope if you have time you'll tune in!

Meanwhile, here's our gorgeous lab (@jura.bsky.social) and office space at the Venture Development Center at UMass Boston. We're continuing to look for a great bioinformaticist/data scientist to join our team here or in Basel, so please don't hesitate to share if you might know of someone looking!
