@mcuban@statnews Maybe @iScienceLuvr you and @mcuban should join forces, with your brains and his $$$$, you guys can crack open the market for cancer and rare disease treatments 💪
@mcuban@statnews Hi from a fellow @IUBloomington alumni!
Just wanted to share this from Tanishq Abraham @iScienceLuvr CEO of @SophontAI who just released a breakthrough cancer diagnosis model/product for personalized treatment that has high potential for rare diseases. https://t.co/QPRV5TYe2X
Sophont CEO @iScienceLuvr explains how Holon-S1 can extract insights that usually require expensive molecular tests from an ordinary cancer biopsy slide:
"Why is it so hard to cure cancer? Because cancer’s a very diverse disease. Even though two people may have the same exact diagnosis, the underlying biology can be quite different."
"There are various tools for doing this, molecular tests and so on, but a lot of these tools can be quite expensive and time-consuming. Can we extract a lot of those similar insights directly from a tissue slide?"
"Whenever a cancer patient has a solid tumor, the gold standard is you take a biopsy, put it on a slide, under the microscope, and a doctor is analyzing that."
"We can take that same exact slide and with AI extract a lot more information about what’s happening at the molecular level, what genes are being expressed, and what makes that tumor unique for that patient."

bro took “i wanna help cure cancer” to a whole ‘nother level!! congrats Tanishq on this product launch!! so inspiring to see y’all at @SophontAI working hard to make a difference in the world 👏
Cancer patients with the same diagnosis often have very different tumor biology.
Molecular testing can reveal underlying differences, but that's slow and expensive.
Introducing Holon-S1, our platform to predict genes and biomarkers from routine pathology slides.
• beats two other models at predicting spatial gene activity in a controlled comparison
• has identified potentially novel biomarkers in breast cancer and colon cancer
• evaluated across 16 organ types and more than 15 scanners, using slides from both formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded and fresh-frozen tissue.
We believe Holon-S1 has the potential to help researchers find new biomarkers in slides they already have, discover treatment targets, and bring more personalized cancer care within reach!

Celebrated 24th Father's Day with my incredible dad @Cornellian1988
My dad is one of the smartest, wisest, kindest and funniest people I know. He works hard every single day to support our family which allowed me and my sister @sopranotiara to pursue our dreams, and I have learned so much from him.
He has taught us many important life skills, such as recently teaching us driving (we successfully got our driver's license last week!)
I am so grateful to have the best father in my life.
Meet the new drivers in Abraham family!
Over the years, my sister @sopranotiara and I have checked off some unusual milestones together. We started college at age 7, became community college classmates, graduated with bachelors from the same university, and went on to doctoral program in our teens!
Today we celebrate another shared milestone: officially licensed drivers. 🥳🎉
Honestly getting a driver's license seemed more stressful than passing PhD qualifying exams and defending a dissertation😅
It turns out that understanding complex AI research papers is one thing; remembering to check mirrors, blind spots, speed limits, pedestrians, cyclists, traffic lights, road signs, and not accidentally hitting a curb is quite another thing!
Though we both had 6 hours each of driving instruction with a professional instructor, most of the credit goes to our dad, who somehow condensed years of his driving wisdom into a two-week crash course.
He patiently taught us, answered our silly questions, resisted the urge to grab the steering wheel, and remained surprisingly calm throughout the process.
We got our driver's licenses and Dad deserves an award ⭐️
Our 26-year-old @Acura TL brought us home from the hospital 23 and 20 years ago when we were born, drove us to soccer practices, swimming lessons, piano and choir rehearsals, and even across college campuses.
Nearly 300,000 miles later, it helped us earn our driver’s licenses.
To everyone on the road: please keep a safe following distance and know that we're trying our best. 🤣
