1/ Excited to share our new paper in Science: “Toward life with a 19-amino acid alphabet through generative artificial intelligence design.” @ColumbiaSysBio @ColumbiaBME @Columbia

Thrilled to share my lab’s new preprint describing our discovery of the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBE2H as a widely-shared dependency in aneuploid cancer cells. @biorxivpreprint @biorxiv_cancer
Excited to share our work on ErbB receptors published today @CellCellPress! Using multicolor, photostable UCNPs, we perform long-term (>15 min) single-particle tracking of EGFR, HER2, and HER3, enabling direct visualization of dimerization in live cells. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
Replying to @tejalpatwardhan @MilesKWang
Would have saved me so much time at the bench, very cool

New preprint! 🚨 We uncover a slow adaptation to stretch that links star-bundling of keratin filaments with nuclear escape from its keratin cage. Led by @tom_golde 🙌 @IBECBarcelona biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

❄️Time-deterministic cryo-optical microscopy, developed by researchers at @UOsaka_en, Janelia & collaborating institutions, rapidly freezes live cells under an optical microscope, capturing a snapshot of cellular activity in high resolution.

I'm often asked how human genetics can be used to validate drug targets.
In our new @NatureCVR paper, we provide an end-to-end framework for IL-6 inhibition🧵
👉build a genetic proxy
👉demonstrate potential for cardiovascular benefit
👉assess expected & unexpected safety signals

3D cross-sectional views of the dynamics of chromosomes (H2B, blue) and the endoplasmic reticulum (orange) in interphase and mitotic LLC-PK1 cells over a 50 x 180 um field at 6 sec intervals, as seen in the lattice light sheet structured illumination mode of MOSAIC.

What does pushing the boundaries of model capacity and data scale do for generative protein language models? I’m super excited to share our latest work @ProfluentBio where we begin to explore and test some of our hypotheses!
