🧪 A new study led by Dr. Janani Durairaj and Prof. Torsten Schwede shows that current AI models in drug discovery still face limitations. Learn more👇 @ninjani.bsky.social @torstenschwede.bsky.social @unibas.ch @snsf.ch @natureportfolio.nature.com

Jack Szostak "All of these things frighten me, and they should frighten you as well. I made the decision to create a life for myself here, because I viewed this as a place that rewarded determination, hard work, and integrity. It still has a chance to be that place again."
Embryogenesis in 4D: a developmental atlas for genes and cells 🧪
@schierlab.bsky.social developed a new method (#weMERFISH) that visualizes the activity of hundreds of genes across the entire zebrafish embryo with subcellular resolution.

A question I get asked all the time by @dev-journal.bsky.social authors "Why does it cost so much to publish a paper?"
We break down the finances and explain where the money goes
Spoiler: quality publishing takes a village (people + infrastructure)

Developing new medicines is a slow and costly process. For some years now, artificial intelligence (AI) has been considered a promising tool to accelerate drug discovery by identifying drug candidates...

Interpretable decoding of cell fate from a snapshot of combinatorial signaling https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.17.725652v1
It's out! Happy to present ITEC, a semi supervised algorithm with an extremely low error rate that can track cells in files of any size (think Terabytes!). We used it in many organisms, including zebrafish, to study how organs form and linked it to gene expression www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... +🧪
