I’m excited to share our significantly-updated preprint on de novo antibody design, where we now demonstrate the structurally accurate design of scFvs (in addition to VHHs) with RFdiffusion! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally, for the past year or so, some of us have been working to build the next generation of these tools at Xaira Therapeutics (@Xaira_Thera), with the aim of fully realising the promise of therapeutics design. If you’re interested in being a part of it, do get in touch!

Congratulations to all - incredibly deserved! It was a total and constant honour working with David. His passion for protein design and its applications, as well as his uncanny attention to detail continue to inspire me. And nothing we do today would be possible without AlphaFold
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Very exciting to see this work out! It still feels quite amazing that you can take three functional bits of protein and bring them all together with novel scaffolds, all while retaining their native function. Congratulations to @karla_mcastro for leading this super cool project!

protein design is getting weird ... and increasingly functional ! These are very weird designs ! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… fun collaboration with @karla_mcastro @_JosephWatson @jueseph @UWproteindesign

I am pleased to share that I have accepted a position @Stanford to start as an assistant professor in the department of statistics, with an affiliation in @StanfordData, this fall!

@MathieuEmile @CalSleeper @FlightFreeUK I 100% agree! The sleeper is so great, and incredibly convenient, but since the upgrade it's just way too expensive to get a bed. Shared rooms would still be much more comfortable than the seats!

@CalSleeper @FlightFreeUK Many nights are fully booked, eg bank holidays weekend, so this would increase capacity without having to change anything! It would also allow more people who currently cannot afford the full cabin price, to be able to travel with the magical experience that the @CalSleeper is 🤩

@CalSleeper really love travelling on your sleeper trains! Why not allow for booking 1 berth in cabins whilst keeping the option to book the full cabin? Would increase the number of people who could travel by train instead of flying! Feels quite a waste of berths atm 🤷‍♂️

I'm excited to announce that I'm part of the team at Xaira Therapeutics! This project has been some time in the making. I'm convinced that generative modelling, and ML for biology more generally, will play a pivotal role in the next generation of therapeutics. 1/2
