High-quality experimental data fuels biological discovery. Could an AI-enabled "autonomous lab" fundamentally increase the rate at which we generate it, and accelerate our progress toward cures for disease? That's the question I sat down to explore with @jrkelly, CEO of @Ginkgo, for a deep-dive and tour of their 52-RAC lab in Boston's Seaport District. In our conversation we covered: → Ginkgo's recent collaboration with @OpenAI on cell-free protein synthesis → @ENERGY's POTUS-backed Genesis Mission to accelerate AI for science → The evolution from cloud labs to truly autonomous labs → An on-the-floor look at Ginkgo's lab, including early challenges and creative workarounds If you're curious about frontier AI models meet the lab bench, check out the latest episode of the Discovery Engines Podcast.

Our breakthrough AI model AlphaGenome is helping scientists understand our DNA, predict the molecular impact of genetic changes, and drive new biological discoveries. 🧬 Find out more in @Nature ↓ goo.gle/4bXlV6y

I’m starting to worry about Massachusetts 1. Biotech is way off from a few years ago 2. Only 1 of the top 50 ai companies are in MA 3. The Fed research funding cuts hitting MIT, Harvard, Whoi are brutal. 4. The millionaires tax is working in the short run, but I know a lot of wealthy folks preparing for a FL move. 5. A glut of empty condos 6. It’s not “cool” for young folks 7. It’s expensive as sh-t. I honestly don’t think the MA/Boston govt can do that much about it as they are kind of macro issues. I give them big credit for working on building more housing and fixing the T, which will help. I’m trying to help w HubSpot, partnering w WHOI, teaching at MIT. I’d like to help more. Specifically I’d like to encourage and help more ai and climate companies in the state. I think ai and climate should be our dual growth engines.
