Ben Busby!

If you are interested in federating biobank data -- come to Copenhagen in September! nordic-conference-on-future-health.org/hackathon/

!!!Reminders!!! Applications due Wed Aug 5 for the @jxtxFoundation scholarships for the @CSHL Biological Data Science conference. Abstracts due Aug 14 for consideration as a talk. #cshldata26 Apply for scholarship: bit.ly/jxtx-biodata26 Conference Info: bit.ly/cshl-biodata26

Prediction: Bio is about to become an even more popular college major. Domains where answers can be formally verified are going to fall like ninepins. In the case of bio, frontier models do ok at protein structure, molecular interactions and some genomic predictions but still struggle with context dependent behavior at the cell and organism level. That will be the next ultimate challenge.

@infoecho and @domenjemec continued to think about how genomics is defined by the reference. They found there was a parallel with physics and its attempts to understand what the center of the universe was gptomics.com/blog/some-guy-…

👀 ELIXIR is looking for a #Director with experience operating at a multinational level 🌍 and a strong awareness of the sensitivities of operating across countries and disciplines. Apply by 10 August 🗓️loom.ly/UpAh6aI

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models. images.nvidia.com/pdf/Open-Weigh…

Very excited to share our @ScienceMagazine paper on single-cell #3D #genome reorganization in #Alzheimer's disease. We jointly measured gene expression and 3D genome architecture in individual human brain cells using #GAGEseq, then integrated these data w/ chromatin accessibility and spatial transcriptomics. We uncovered increased #compartment #mingling and distance-dependent rewiring of gene regulatory contacts in AD. We also developed #Hicformer, a transformer-based model that integrates DNA sequence with 3D genome features to predict cell type-specific gene expression and prioritize candidate regulatory elements. Huge kudos to co-first authors @zocean636 and @xinyuelu1999; and many thanks to Zhijun Duan @UW, Hansruedi Mathys @PittTweet, & David Bennett @rushalzheimers for the wonderful collaboration, as well as to all our co-authors. @CarnegieMellon @SCSatCMU @CMUCompBio #AlzheimersDisease #3DGenome #SingleCell #AI science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Great work from the @NIH #NHLBI TOPMed Consortium demonstrating the value of deep-coverage WGS in uncovering numerous rare QTLs linked to altered expression and alternative splicing across 6 tissues science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ScienceMagazine

📣 Last chance to express your interest in attending BioHackathon Europe 2026 in person: loom.ly/xzsA9po Register your interest by midnight CEST today ⚠️!

The @AHAScience Scientific Statement I've been waiting for- Caffeine and Cardiovascular Disease. The science is far from settled, but a comprehensive review of the current evidence is helpful for in-clinic discussions ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… @CircAHA ☕️

🌉 Building bridges between academia and industry for open biomedical data science Our AWS/NVIDIA hackathons trained 150+ researchers on real open datasets and produced 17 open‑source prototypes in knowledge graphs and federated genomics. If you're at #ISMB, come find @DCGenomics at poster B-046. Read preprint nvda.ws/4f4QyrV

@dnanexus @BCM_HGSC @sedlazeck I’ll be there!!

Join us & @BCM_HGSC for the 8th annual hybrid #hackathon! This is a great opportunity to collaborate with the structural variation community to solve cutting edge problems in genomics. Applications are due by August 10th: hubs.ly/Q04pc3K40 @sedlazeck @DCGenomics

@JasonWilliamsNY @mike_schatz @agbt Unless you want excellent bioinformatics education, there is no good reason to contact Jason Williams.

@DCGenomics @mike_schatz @agbt Lab technicians—DM me for an important message about your car insurance.

Registration is open for AGBT Precision Health on Sept 14-16 at the beautiful Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego. Abstracts are due by July 21. #agbtph26 Learn more here: agbtprecisionhealth.org Submit abstracts here: agbtprecisionhealth.org/abstracts

Honored to host Sec. of State @leicesterliz, showcasing our pioneering oncology & radiopharmaceutical innovations. We highlighted our landmark partnership that seeks to turn legacy nuclear material into targeted alpha therapies (BRCs®), contributing to UK leadership in precision medicine & nurturing STEM talent. #UKInnovation #Oncology #Radiopharmaceuticals #STEM

⏰ Closing this Sunday - Don’t miss your chance to join ELIXIR Hub as a Science Officer to support the activities of #ELIXIRDataPlatform and #ELIXIRComputePlatform ! 👉 loom.ly/NObFiVQ

Structure prediction is more than just an important model inference problem for digital biology. Check out the frontiers in accelerating sequence search and scaling out enormous structure cofolding across multiple GPUs! x.com/NVIDIAHealth/s…

The digital bio team at @nvidia is working tirelessly on protein structure prediction and design. Most recent launch includes GPU MSA search 177× faster, OpenFold3 inference 4× faster on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, and Fold-CP scaling to 32,000-token complexes across 64 NVIDIA B300 GPUs, composed into agentic workflows with BioNeMo Agent Toolkit
