During my PhD @borklab.bsky.social, we extracted drug side effect data from package inserts and used the dataset to predict new drug targets (doi.org/10.1126/scie...) and pinpoint proteins that mediate the side effects (doi.org/10.1038/msb....). We also published the underlying database... [1/3]
Drug Target Identification Using Side-Effect Similarity
Targets for drugs have so far been predicted on the basis of molecular or cellular features, for example, by exploiting similarity in chemical structure or in activity across cell lines. We used pheno...

So exciting to see this in print! Ever wondered how embryonic cells know what (fate) to become during early development? In particular when they might see different signaling cues? We investigated this!

And a lovely cover from Zoe Ruiz and @oliveringe.bsky.social!

I decided to experiment with my own (small) protein design competition!

It's specifically to test how well VHH pipelines work for binder design, without the usual careful tuning.

You submit a modal script, I run it and test on benchbb.bio

The biggest challenge for AI in biology isn't just models, it's the data used to train them. Standard biological data isn't built for AI. To unlock generative AI for drug discovery, we must rethink how we generate and capture data. 1/

If there's such a thing as AI for drug design & development on easy mode, then it's probably in being able to build and test every design.

We have gotten some really good responses to science questions from platform.futurehouse.org already. Both from "Crow" (short answers) and "Falcon" (deep research).

It looks like this is state of the art right now!
