(1/7)https://t.co/Rvz6nRe6Yd First paper of the PhD out today! What’s it about? Most of the places we traverse and actions we take do not directly result in reward (as a PhD student, I understand this problem all too well…).
“Animals don’t translate to humans.” What if it’s our assays, not the animals, that are the problem? Excited to finally share Olio’s preclinical high-throughput in vivo platform that actually predicts human outcomes.
We’re bringing predictive validity to drug discovery’s most unpredictable stage. Today we are introducing Olio Labs’ in vivo platform, designed to predict diverse human clinical outcomes from a single high-throughput experiment. (1/n)

(7/7) Huge thanks to all co-authors and mentors, especially Josh Berke and @nathanieldaw for all the time given to training and discussion, and a special shoutout to my original mentor in the Berke Lab, @mohebial for being the best scientific role model I could ask for in a lab.
(6/7) By combining these credit-assignment strategies, the brain is able to integrate new information about the changing world, in order to generate reward predictions that adaptively guide behavior.
@mohebial@eLife Woohoo! Congrats Ali! So much great work went into this story, it’s so cool to see it in its final form. Thanks for leaving me intimidatingly large shoes to fill!
@mohebial Ali, as always you are way too kind! But I had to reactivate my Twitter just to thank you for those words. Couldn’t have done any of that without the best mentor in the business!
