Decoding Bio

1/ 🎁 Announcing prizes for the 10-day AI x Bio Hackathon! Some highlights below 👇 (full list in the poster) Apply by *this Friday, Oct 31*!

The @decodingbio annual snapshot is out! It was a privilege being an author this year with @anthonycosta and @DBBurkhardt! Check out our chapter on current research and future direction for virtual cells, and notable work by @arcinstitute, @NOETIK_ai and @Basecamp_Res

Many have tried, few have succeeded..... in SynBio. Fun to work with an incredible squad @decodingbio to write about the past, present and future of SynBio. Check out the full bio report in the link below 🧬 Thanks to @pablolubroth @ZahraKhwaja for organizing!

We're hosting a biotech operator & early scientists mixer with @Pranay_Shahh (@ARIA_research) and @pablolubroth (@decodingbio) at the @IDEALondon space! Come drop by tomorrow! RSVP: lu.ma/3b2ygzcs

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐘𝐒𝐄: BiotechTV is broadcasting from the @decodingbio AI x BIO Summit at the NYSE today. Catch @RS_Flinn’s coverage all day.

We’re launching Decoding Science!

@askalphaxiv and @decodingbio are now working together to help anyone discover, read, and discuss the latest in AI x Bio research! Whenever Decoding covers an arXiv paper, we’ll link to AlphaXiv, where you can read comments from researchers and use on-site AI tools to summarize.

We are excited to announce our collaboration with @decodingbio! Decoding Bio is a community of writers, scientists, founders, and funders focused on elevating the understanding of cutting edge developments in AI+Bio. This collaboration with Decoding Bio will be an important first step in expanding alphaXiv beyond CS and physics. Stay tuned!

@KhaledSaab11 et al. @GoogleDeepMind upgrade their medical AI AMIE with multi-modal reasoning and a state-aware diagnostic framework, outperforming primary care physicians in a randomized, double blinded diagnostic study. Read more here: gstatic.com/amie/multimoda…

Welcome to the first installation of a thread of what we read: a thread in which we highlight exciting new developments in biotech. All are covered in our weekly BioByte (linked in comments!) 🧵 1/5

@maayan_baron et al. show that mutations in desmosome genes within keratinocytes can result in a skin microenvironment that favours malignant transformation in skin cutaneous melanoma. 🧵 5/5
