At #AtroposHealth, we’re automating high-quality #RWE with @awscloud for healthcare and lifesciences. Our platform, GENEVA OS®, is cloud-based and available within the AWS Marketplace. Watch this video from CEO and Co-founder, Dr. @BrighamHyde to learn more.

[Bits in Bio @bitsinbio]

It’s our favorite time of the year again -- our 2025 State of Techbio Survey is now live!

This survey is an opportunity for you to help give back to the broader Bits in Bio community.

This survey is our shortest yet, and will take ~3-5 minutes to complete (link below).

We're thrilled to present ESM3 in @ScienceMagazine. ESM3 is a generative language model that reasons over the three fundamental properties of proteins: sequence, structure, and function. Today we're making ESM3 available free to researchers worldwide via the public beta of an API for biological intelligence.

Trained with over a trillion teraflops of compute, this is the first time a model of this scale has been trained for biology, pushing the frontier of AI for biological discovery and engineering.

ESM3 learns to represent the immense complexity of protein biology, learning from billions of natural proteins. From this training it developed the capability to design proteins, responding to complex prompts combining atomic level details and high level instructions to generate new proteins.

ESM3 can explore protein space far beyond natural evolution. We prompted ESM3 to generate a fluorescent protein at a far distance from any known fluorescent proteins, searching an unknown region of protein space, to discover a new fluorescent protein.

We estimate this is equivalent to simulating five hundred million years of evolution.
