Our new arXiv paper: We built a generative AI model of blood glucose levels from 10 million continuous glucose monitoring measurements of 11,000 people from the Human Phenotype Project We show that our model can predict clinical parameters such as liver-related parameters, blood lipids, and sleep-related indices. The model can also predict onset of future health outcomes even 4 years in advance, as well as outcomes of randomized clinical trials We also integrated dietary data into the models and show that the enhanced model can accurately generate blood glucose levels using only dietary intake data, simulate outcomes of dietary interventions, and predict individual responses to specific foods. The model also performs well on 15 different external datasets from 5 different geographical regions and 6 different continuous glucose monitoring devices Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2408.11876 Data: humanphenotypeproject.org/ Great work led by @GLutsker, Gal Sapir, @nastya_godneva, @smadarshilo, @H_Rossman in collaboration with @SamochaBonetD and @nvidia researchers @GalChechik @MannorShie @eli_meirom

Are there universal laws driving complex systems dynamics across scales? What kind of general theory connects fluctuations in microbiomes, rainforests or economic and urban systems? Check this @PNASNews paper by ashish george & @Jp_odwyer @sfiscience pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pna…

How precise are noisy #morphogen gradients in #tissue #patterning? It turns out that the positional information they convey to #cells in the #neuraltube is much more accurate than previously estimated! Our new #devbio paper is out in @NatureComms: rdcu.be/cH8Fx

"All models are wrong, but some are useful" used to be my favorite quote regarding the use of models (applies equally to biological & mathematical models), but it is fast losing out to "A model is a lie that helps you see the truth". (Still need to figure out who said the latter)

A day to reflect on this continent's history, and to remember not to take peace for granted. That a German can stand in a British lecture theatre with Russian, French and American students, and nobody really cares where anyone is from. Grateful.
