@soundboy if only it was that simple…

What a privilege to work with Ilana @IlanaSchlam and team from Dana-Farber alongside Sandra Swain. Here we looked at several TME biomarkers in HER2+ from the B-41 trial.

Check out this new @Nature_NPJ study looking at AI-powered and manual assessment of #TumorInfiltratingLymphocytes in early HER2-positive #BreastCancer in NSABP B-41.

@lawyer4SMBs wth is “top longevity circles”!?

unpopular view but i wonder if there’s some truth to at least follow on investment part

[Dux @DuxVul]

@FraserNelson No Fraser, DeepMind was a total and utter failure at a structural level

They sold for $600m to the first US company that asked

They should have been the UKs first $1tn company

But the follow on investment wasn’t there and the yanks snapped it up for cheap

if you’re an ai researcher you should really consider working on bio

pretraining is great: data sets are big enough for interesting stuff but not so big you’re spending all your time on weird cluster optimization

post training is in the age of research:
the lab is the only true validation, but it’s expensive so figuring out the limits of what we can do for evals in silico is still very open question

existing stuff kind of works: we have proof of life for the ability of ai to accelerate bio but there is a long way to go

it feels a lot like computer vision after imagenet or nlp after the first transformers started really working

if your idea works, you might get to help improve the human condition. way cooler to talk about at parties than “we pushed benchmark X for chat model Y up by 3 point”

biomarker 🎯

[Ron Alfa @Ronalfa]

yes, and clinical is the bottleneck

keytruda only works in 12% of lung cancer, without the biomarker would be toast

@VincentMoens i like how that’s “everyone”

PathAI acquisition by Roche, ~$1Bn (~3x return on announced rapid capital, ~21x rev?) — overall, not bad at all! Congrats to the team, 10 hard years!

You only need to define revenue when you’ve been faking it.

@etnshow it’s getting very busy..

why UK founders go through the flip, and keep r&d talent in london:

[Tom Blomfield @t_blom]

First it was "UK wage growth is too low" 😭

Now "Rich American AI companies are paying our engineers too much and UK unicorns can no longer compete" 😭

@Noahpinion i’ve it on good authority that mRNA vaccines are bad…

[Khalid Abduljabbar @khalidated]

@KianSadeghi5 do you’ve annotated clinical outcomes?

@dieworkwear what did i just see 😭😭😭
