For the last few months, I have been spending my weekends exploring hard tech; specifically, synthetic biology. While a lot has been done in the last 2 decades in synthetic biology, it's still very much in its infancy. Compiling some of my notes here: synbio.sh/resources

How to learn synthetic biology as a programmer?

This post mirrors the content in this github repo. If you want to add new resources, feel free to submit a PR or DM me.

NewLimit paper just dropped @icmlconf showing our SOTA AI models can predict perturbed cell states. Helps to have the largest primary cell perturbation dataset in the world. Bonus points for one of the first demonstration of active learning in bio.

Poll: Is the SENS philosophy (not necessarily the original specifics) a viable approach for the aging field? SENS philosophy = divide & conquer rejuvenation that involves many infrequent therapies to reverse different age-related changes. (Epigenetic reprogramming is included.)

This is an amazing paper from the groups of @anshulkundaje & Scott Boyd and an example of how AI can be used well in biology. Basically, they are able to predict disease status (e.g. lupus, Covid, HIV, influenza) from BCRseq and TCRseq. I think this has great implications.

TL;DR: We built a transformer-based payments foundation model. It works. For years, Stripe has been using machine learning models trained on discrete features (BIN, zip, payment method, etc.) to improve our products for users. And these feature-by-feature efforts have worked…

There was a time (a few decades ago) when IVF was considered taboo and now ~2% of US born babies are born using IVF. With the right regulations and financial support ecosystem, it makes a lot of sense to help avoid diseases before birth that your child would suffer from their…

When I was in elementary school, my mom started going blind. Retinitis pigmentosa. No family history. No treatments. No cure. I got lucky. She didn’t. It led me to build @OrchidInc so my baby —and everyone else's—gets to win the genetic lottery—avoid blindness— and hundreds of…
