A good benchmark provides a north star to guide & measure AI development.
A great benchmark is scalable and can be easily turned into a data-generation pipeline for training.
I think great benchmarks can only be built by crawling real-world data sources, not by manual design.

Today was my last day as a postdoc in @sriram_lab@UMBME! I've met the most incredible people here & Sriram is the best mentor I've worked with truly. So grateful for this transformative journey 🙏🏼 @UMich is an amazing place for research & personal growth! Forever #GoBlue
Congratulations to our graduate student @caro_chung for winning the prestigious Glenn V. Edmonson Scholarship for Graduate Biomedical Engineering @UMBME 🎉The scholarship awards students excelling in the BME graduate program as a researcher & through service & leadership👏🏽
Our latest paper is out! We present a pipeline to predict in vivo interactions of #tuberculosis drugs. The approach could accelerate new combination therapies for TB! #Bioinformatics#MachineLearning
Sharing a few cool articles on #DeepLearning and #drugdiscovery discussed in our lab lit review today.

What does it take to generate multiple cell states? To find out, we designed and built "MultiFate", a synthetic circuit that generates multistability in mammalian cells. https://t.co/cFZgFBI6Ti . Work from brilliant student @RonZhu2015 w/ @jesusdelrio_7 and @jgojalvo.
Can't wait to share our new works! We built synthetic circuits to enable symmetric breaking bacteria to divide asymmetrically. Our mathematical model supports that bipolr protein is capable of aggregating at only one pole with additionally spatial cues.

So excited to be awarded the @umichgradschool International Student Fellowship, and particularly looking forward to continuing interesting projects in @sriram_lab.
Congratulations to our lab member @DaWeiLin4 for receiving the @umichgradschool Rackham International Student Fellowship! Da-Wei is a graduate student who studies cell type transitions and embryonic development using computational approaches in @sriram_lab. Way to go Da-Wei👏🏽🎊
Powerful ad from #Taiwan in @Nytimes today. Bc/Taiwan is not a @UN member state & bc/Beijing has pressured @WHO to not include Taiwan in deliberations, Taiwan has confronted #COVID alone. Yet applying lessons of SARS, it contained virus & kept schools & businesses open.
