AI just cracked de novo antibody design with a 100x leap! 🧪
Chai-2, a next-gen multimodal generative model, is shaking up protein design. With a 16% hit rate in fully de novo antibody design—over 100 times better than previous methods—it’s making drug discovery faster and more precise than ever.

DM me or @cryoempapers.bsky.social if you want a paper bot for your subfield 😃
Does anybody know of other fields or subfields that would benefit from a bot like this? I can easily make more and am happy to self-host as a community service. Comment or DM!

For those who miss the cryoEM papers bot from Twitter, I’m happy to announce the new @cryoempapers.bsky.social! Let me know what you think. I will be tweaking the keywords and RSS feeds as I finalize it so I welcome any input.
