1/7 Improving de novo Protein Binder Design with Deep Learning (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…) We show that AF2 is an effective predictor of whether a de novo designed miniprotein will bind to the intended target or not.

Successful Public health Programs rely on Engineering principles as much as medical ones
It’s rare that public health is discussed with Engineering
But it should be.
Public Health Engineering Depts. should exist!
A wonderful article by @paimadhu

Delighted to announce the publication of our work on *Microfluidic Chain Reaction* (MCR) in @Nature.
MCR help realize a true lab-on-a-chip and could perform medical tests. You may download, modify, and 3D print your own MCR chip 😎

Feels like style and design has traditionally been an afterthought in biotech (understandable given we’re making drugs prescribed by doctors), but perhaps that changes in an era of talent wars and new technologies.
Art, science, and entrepreneurship are each rooted in creation.
