What if we could download the brain?

At the @UF College of Medicine, @RCSunlab is digitally mapping the brain molecule by molecule to uncover hidden clues about disease progression — and help create a future with more time, memory and hope. #BreakthroughsBeginHere

this is so fucking wholesome

guy used AI to save his cancer-ridden dog by sequencing its DNA and creating a CUSTOM cure.

the tech behind this is fucking awesome (well done @demishassabis and the google team):

- used CHATGPT to sequence dogs DNA discovers mutations

- ran the mutations through Google’s Alphafold (AI protein sequencer) which CREATED A CUSTOM VACCINE TO TREAT THEM.

- treated dog and reduced tumour by 50% in WEEKS. dog is alive and well.

- this is the 1st time AI has been used to create a custom vaccine for a dog (and it worked)

- dude is now working on similar vaccines for humans using AI!

2026 is definitely the year we see AI change personalised medicine in a HUGE way

so sick

Stealing @ishahjain figure to show the power of spatial metabolomics in embryonic research ! We sectioned straight across the skull and negated the need of brain resection and complicate metabolism in post mortem manipulation !
