We made FLIP2, a protein fitness benchmark spanning seven new datasets, including enzymes, protein-protein interactions, and light-sensitive proteins, as well as splits that measure generalization relevant to real-world protein engineering campaigns.

Rhizome AI is in the Y Combinator W26 batch! We help 18 organizations understand FDA expectations (and the EMA, MHRA, etc.) and it's just the beginning! Appreciate those who believed in us early and those who continue to champion us.

New preprint! We measured temperature- and pH-induced aggregation for over 18,000 natural and de novo designed protein domains!

✨ new work with @jiwoncpark #icml2025! a zoo of algos exists for designing new proteins & molecules w/ AI🧬🧪how do you pick which one to use? our method selects design algos that will achieve user-specified, population-level success criteria w/ high-prob guarantees.👇

Thrilled to see my digital art on the cover of @TrendsGenetics! The two binary strings represent reverse-complementary DNA sequences (00=A, 01=C, 10=G, 11=T) and the connecting rectangles represent “embeddings” learned by DNA language models. Our article: doi.org/10.1016/j.tig.…

Happy Sunday to all! This morning, we are excited to share Chase’s work developing a simple, scalable method to assemble 100s-1000s of custom genes from oligo pools using standard lab tools! (Small 🧵 below)

Gene synthesis is often the most expensive part of protein engineering with generative models. Happy to have played a small part in this work, where Chase developed a method for precision library construction at scale, with per-gene costs as low as $1.50. @romerolab1

Protein function often depends on protein dynamics. To design proteins that function like natural ones, how do we predict their dynamics? @HWaymentSteele and I are thrilled to share the first big, experimental datasets on protein dynamics and our new model: Dyna-1! 🧵

"Engineering of highly active and diverse nuclease enzymes by combining machine learning and ultra-high-throughput screening" from @countablyfinite @LucyColwell37 and team looks amazing. They compare directed evolution, hit recombination, and ML-guided design of NucB.
