POV: January 2026

The results of the Nipah Protein Design Competition are out! 🧬 1200 proteins experimentally validated (3x more than last year) 📈 99 novel binders against the target protein (a challenging tetramer with little prior work) 💪 26 single digit nM or better binders, with the best ones at single-digit picomolar affinity! All data now available open-source on Proteinbase! Let's take a look at the results ⬇️

Some exciting news to share — we've made the world's first magnetically controlled antibody! What is a magnetically controlled antibody? It's an antibody drug that you can turn on and off, wherever you want in the body. (1/9) x.com/ashleevance/st…

Every biologist needs to try vibe coding, they're perfectly trained for it. Who else is totally comfortable prodding alien, indecipherable blobs with vague incantations, watching them slosh and churn with only the foggiest mental model of the intricate yet sloppy machinations churning inside the box. Then getting wildly surprising outputs that you then have to patiently corral toward something that’s, if not exactly what was in mind, at least an interesting and useful creation

Big news from Boltz today: we’re launching Boltz Lab, a new platform with new small-molecule + protein design agents, announcing Boltz PBC and a $28M seed round, and sharing a multi-year partnership with Pfizer. More below! 🚀

No entienden lo que pasa. Lo ven, lo escuchan y no entienden. Las universidades funcionan solo por nuestra buena voluntad. Y queda muy poco para que se termine nuestra buena voluntad.
