Excited to have Edric Choi present his latest work on RNA chemical mapping at the CASP Nucleic Acids Reading Group!
Thursday April 16 2026 on Zoom; Pacific Daylight Saving Time 8 am / Eastern Daylight Saving Time 11 am -- free to attend and full of interactive discussions.
I recently joined The Pauling Principle podcast to discuss our research on RNA design, hot takes on architecture research in BioML, origins of life, and being in a wet lab!
Feels pretty surreal that I'm interesting enough to be on a podcast (?)

Four years of research on Geometric Deep Learning & Molecular Design, summarized in 3 questions:
- How expressive are our models? (Theory)
- Can we build foundation models for molecules? (Architecture)
- Can AI design RNA in the real world? (Application)
New blog 💙: I reflect on why I worked on what I worked on...
I think a PhD is a very special time. You get to challenge yourself, push your boundaries, and grow. My thoughts go against the current AI/academia narrative online, so I hope you find it interesting.

The main takeaway from the Kaggle competition was how powerful RNA template modeling can be — it was kind of shocking to us 🤯
RNAPro integrates 3D templates into Protenix/the AF3 architecture, and this moves the needle on automated RNA structure prediction!
Happy new year! A step change in RNA structure prediction, powered by top Kaggle-ers in a collaboration lead by Stanford University and NVIDIA
Happy to have played a small part in the new RNAPro model, significantly outperforming AlphaFold 3 as well as VFold (CASP winners)
The video was largely created using AI text-to-video, and I must say the results are pretty impressive! There's huge potential for this technology to make science more approachable, just like Google's NotebookLM.
Merry Christmas!🎄🌟
Sharing something interesting: Friso van de Stadt created a pretty neat explainer video for our gRNAde paper and "AlphaGo moment for RNA design" blogpost!

I wrote some personal reflections about being physically embedded in a world-leading molecular biology lab @mrclmb.bsky.social, learning to communicate with experimentalists, back-breaking wet lab work, scientific rigour, and skin in the game!
