I'm speaking at Abu Dhabi Global Health Week (ADGHW) 2025, taking place from 15 - 17 April at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. Please join in, and let me know if you wish to meet up in person during the event!

Link for registration in first comment below - hope to see you at ADGHW! Best wishes, Andreas

Just ... (a) method, results, and claims need to be aligned, and (b) results be consistent with the claims, and (c) results need to be practically meaningful in the domain, which... isn't always the case, though it's what's needed for (true) progress!

Yes, I agree with the things you wrote - obviously we use predictive models as well, we worked extensively on e.g. active learning (the way you wrote above), and that is _very_ good (you sample hypothesis space more efficiently)

Yup!

Hope you had a good start in NL - and thanks for your recent MS binning paper, we read it with great interest 🙂!

The 'Google Co-Scientist' claims to be 'Accelerating scientific breakthroughs with an AI co-scientist'

But does it?

A closer look at its scientific validation as currently reported

Please share and let me know if you have any comments, cheers! Andreas

I am speaking at CPHI Middle East in Riyadh this week, on

"Artificial Intelligence Across Modalities - Small Molecules, Antibodies/Proteins, and Cell and Gene Therapy"

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you are interested in AI & drug discovery! Cheers, Andreas

Anything particular you have in mind when writing this ... 😉 ?

This clearly illustrates the value of thorough editorial processes and peer-review... a must-read, brought to you by ... Elsevier 🙂!

He just remembers that reading medical papers on his own was the best moment of his rare holidays with his wife.'

Honestly... this is _fantastic_ 😂!

'Today, 23 years after (10 Saturnian months) Professor D.P. realizes that he is married and has two children, but he knows nothing about them. He does not even remember any details of his marriage.

Thanks Sean 🙂!

Yes - and JCIM etc. as well, please forward internally, thank you 🙂!

I just joined Bluesky as well... let's rebuild the same nice community in the cheminformatics/comp chem/bioinformatics/drug discovery etc. areas that 'the other place' was in the good old days 😊! Looking forward to reconnecting with people here, Andreas
