Today I'm posting a new blog about an astonishing scientific own goal. Hundreds of papers have reported using a completely wrong antibody to investigate the tumor suppressor p16. This mistake has happened because scientists have muddled the names of two proteins 🧵

This also applies to experts jumping subfields in AI × Bio. Work with people who know the new space well, or the science ends up reading DISCONNECTED FROM THE REALITY OF THE FIELD (bordering delusional). Hype might carry for a bit, but this isn’t startups. In science, truth wins.

Today is my first day at @genentech in Dr. Aviv Regev's Lab.
Yes, yours truly, a (plant) geneticist. In a phenomenal group pioneering lab-in-the-loop methods to accelerate drug discovery.

In the age of AI, genetic circuits - whether in maize meristems or myeloid progenitors - are just sparse and modular circuits. Gene regulatory logic is just that: logic. Cells are nonlinear dynamical systems.

From maize to mammalian cells, the next frontier is in multi-scale integration and automation. And meeting those challenges to accelerate drug discovery will require out-of-the-box thinking.
I am beyond excited to explore automation in biology across systems!

Somebody is giving students terrible advice on how to get into grad school. It's not the fault of students that write canned, generic, cut-and-paste "perfectly aligned with my interests" emails, it's the people that advise them to do it.
