Thrilled with today's @UCSF Dept. of Medicine residency match! A brilliant group of young physicians, hailing from 32 different med schools (most frequent: UCSF 8; UCLA 6; Harvard & Stanford 5; Columbia, NYU, Yale 3 each). Eight in our MD-scientist program. Welcome! @UCSFDOM

.@StanfordMed student @_BSmith_ embraces the "intellectual curiosity" associated with medicine & is also passionate about the human experience aspect: "Just being present & sitting down with a person can be day-changing or even life-changing." stan.md/4cPMHhA

I am so grateful to the patients who trusted us with their stories and to the collaborators who continue to explore the intersections of humanism, technology, and medicine. Thank you.

Co-authored with Bryant Lin and an incredible interdisciplinary team at @StanfordMed including Lauren Toomer, Emily Vu, Breanna Collins, @aei_sci, Connor Sayle, @Courtsmithrun, Jenny Shi, and @MedMusicMel

I am thrilled to share our newly published pilot study from @StanfordMedMuse out now in the @JournalPatientX as part of a special collection with @GoldFdtn: doi.org/10.1177/237437…

HLA is the locus that everyone loves to hate, so it rarely gets invited to the GWAS party... There’s good reason for this. The region has extensive LD, high gene density and high polymorphism. (Thread + preprint link below ⬇️) (1/8)

Thank you @StanfordMed for featuring me! I'm so grateful for the constellation of brilliant and supportive mentors, friends, and colleagues around me - past and present.

Working with you all at @StanfordMedMuse has been an essential source of joy, meaning, and healing during medical school. Thank you for helping me find what kind of doctor I aspire to be, and for guiding me along the path to get there!

In our latest work, we describe how inverse folding with a multimodal language model enables unsupervised ML-guided protein evolution with the strongest experimental success rates to-date. We evolve antibodies to have ~10-30X better pseudoviral neutralization with improved activity in 50-80% of variants. (1/n) 📌Link to paper: doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…
