Cross-post from our new acct at focolab.bsky.social. We're happy to share our preprint on tardigrades as a new model organism for neuroscience. Exciting times for these little critters! focolab.org/post/our-prepr…

Prediction: a copyright violation case against generative AI companies will go before the Supreme Court by end of year. Result: large gen AIs will need to be retrained on only demonstrably rights-cleared content. Gen AI will be ruled to not fall under fair use.
Roche / Genentech has acquired Herophilus's scaled human brain organoid + automation + ML drug discovery platform, seven years in the making. This is a huge milestone for our interdisciplinary team and for this modern approach to therapeutics research. businesswire.com/news/home/2023…
Geoff Hinton leaving Google is a serious data point that we have surprised ourselves at the "elbow" in apparent AI progress.
It’s going to be very exciting summer if you are a copyright lawyer #GenerativeAI
Happy to share a small study from Herophilus comparing transduction of neurons and astrocytes in human cortical organoids by off-the-shelf AAVs for gene therapy. AAV6 transduced neurons better than AAV2 and AAV9, surprisingly. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
The Rett Syndrome Research Trust is funding Herophilus' in vivo studies of HRP-12975, a small molecule x-chromosome reactivator discovered using our human organoid-based neuroscience discovery platform. #organoids #rettsyndrome #drugdiscovery businesswire.com/news/home/2023…
Happy to announce the results from the @Herophilus_sf research collaboration with @CerevelTx in a preprint: "Neuroimmune Cortical Organoids Overexpressing C4A Exhibit Multiple Schizophrenia Endophenotypes" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I wrote this piece on the necessity of real-world biology experiments in drug discovery, even for AI/data-driven strategies. saulkato.medium.com/genomics-and-a… @Herophilus_sf #organoids
Follow the microglia as they surveil the neural tissue in a neuroimmune cerebral organoid (NICO) and keep it healthy. Microglial motility is just one key readout of neuroimmune function.
Holy cow. Despite all the evidence, @CDCgov is still promoting an exceptionally dangerous practice of leaving isolation at 5 days without a negative test. >70% of boosted people are still highly infectious at 5 days WHY CDC are you standing by this when ALL the data says NO.
Challenge trials, even small n, allow a degree of controlled and precise measurements you can't get from field trials. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Need to analyze your ML embeddings for bias in complex real world datasets? This is an important practice to follow when using ML for science. See how we do it at Herophilus in this paper in Cell Patterns, Cell's new ML journal. cell.com/patterns/fullt…
gonna go buy myself some bio-fuel (lunch) with these fungible tokens in my real-wallet
