The image is Pollock, I like the depth of scale.
Fascinating talk by Boro Dropulic from Caring Cross on plans to improve affordability and access to CAR T-cell therapy. I liked production at the point of care, a companion facility on site to engineer the T-cells. Good work on mitigating antigen loss and improving persistence.

Interesting to see virtual cells back in the news. The full realisation of this epic ambition is of course someway off, however it's going to be a driver for AI applied to omics data. Good to see #openscience highlighted #AIVC #stanford #CZI #genetech

How to build the virtual cell with artificial intelligence: Priorities and opportunities
Advances in AI and omics enable the creation of AI virtual cells (AIVCs)—multi-scale, multimodal neural network models that simulate molecules, cells, and tissues across diverse states. This vision outlines their design and collaborative development, promising to transform biological research through high-fidelity simulations, accelerating discoveries, and fostering interdisciplinary open science collaborations.

Very happy to be here on #bluesky after making a break from other increasingly politically skewed platforms.
