Proteinea

Pioneering the future of biologics to tackle life-threatening diseases.

DM @hazemessamm or @KerdawyBioAI to meet them @ ICML , or catch our Ankh-extended poster in the ML4LMS workshop.

[Hazem @hazemessamm]

I am at the International Conference of Machine Learning (ICML) and will be presenting our work on Protein Language Models. If you are there and want to meet and talk about PLMs or NLP, DM me.

بندور على MLOps Engineer في التيم بتاعنا في Proteinea. حابين حد ييجي يتعلم الrole عندنا و يكون عنده 1-3 سنين خبرة كdevops or backend software engineer. بص على الrequirements و لو لقيت 50% أو أكتر منها عندك، قدم عندنا. نحب حد بيحب يتعلم حاجات جديدة و عنده مهارات تواصل كويسة.

@azizelgammal @proteinea This is awesome

[Hazem @hazemessamm]

I am really happy and proud to be part of this paper and to be part of this team, also I really proud that I worked with you @Elnaggar_AI

[Mohamed Elkerdawy @KerdawyBioAI]

Blessed to have the opportunity to co-author this amazing progress in protein language models.

[alex rubinsteyn @iskander]

Cool! Protein sequencing modeling with @huggingface T5 transformer models at the core

[Katie Link @katieelink]

Awesome new protein language model, with open-source code, model weights, and datasets too! ✨

Great work and congrats @Elnaggar_AI et al!

Ankh was trained on @Google 's TPUv4 Pods. Thanks to @googlecloud 's generous fund, we are able to release the code and model weights free for academic and noncommercial use cases.

[Ahmed Elnaggar @Elnaggar_AI]

Ankh was tested heavily on various principal structure and function benchmarks for protein engineering, from fitness to contact prediction, achieving SoTA performance on them!
It can also produce a biologically meaningful library of proteins -- from just a single sequence.

[Ahmed Elnaggar @Elnaggar_AI]

Introducing Ankh ☥ :
An optimized protein language model (PLM) achieving SoTA performance with < 10% of the top/closest-performing models’ parameters. It is benchmarked on various downstream protein tasks, and tested for protein generation.

Please welcome Ankh by @proteinea 🚀🚀

[Jada @JadaFoF]

Today’s #catalyzesaudi event showcased the Kingdom’s innovative startup ecosystem, as global VCPE leaders toured @KAUST_News and explored Saudi’s thriving start-up scene. The innovative startups included @proteinea @pasqalio @Firnas_aero_ @ghirasseco @NoorDXSA

[Proteinea @proteinea]

As of now, Proteinea has an official physical existence in KAUST as part of the Destination Deep Tech program (we even have our own offices ! come say hi to us in the entrepreneurship center at @KAUSTinnovation cluster).

[Proteinea @proteinea]

This is as exciting as it sounds: we landed in sunny Saudi Arabia !

[Proteinea @proteinea]

We took the KAUST lab tour, and were mesmerized by the technological beauties we witnessed
We are looking forward to meeting Saudi companies in the field, and developing our IP in collaboration with KAUST faculty

[KAUST Startups @KAUSTStartups]

#KAUSTInnovation startup @proteinea is @LEAPandInnovate. This cutting-edge biomanufacturing platform is making protein therapeutics accessible to everyone — and that’s a BIG step forward. #LEAP22

@TimSDobbs @aryelipman @indbio You can read more about us here: https://t.co/vJl1qcn7Uc (It's fun, we promise. Many puns, though.) 3/3

[Proteinea @proteinea]

@TimSDobbs @aryelipman It was one year ago our R&D team came up with such an idea. We similarly googled it, read some papers, and that pivoted us from insect farming into full-stack protein production, and only a few months ago we graduated @indbio !
