We built an 8000 sqft. high-throughput wet-lab in 30 days, to solve molecular discovery - starting with pesticides.
Most teams in drug-discovery don’t receive target-organism verification until clinical trials. Pesticides allow us to rapidly validate our model in the target organism directly. With the help of our high-throughput lab, we were able to generate compounds that killed a $13 billion pest, the Fall Armyworm.
We believe that the bitter lesson is coming for biology.
@synaptikate@navvye@shaurya_sinha7 The lab did cost hundreds of thousands, which is much less than the millions it typically costs trained teams of scientists. Would recommend reading out blog because it describes how we got it to be cheap and fast: https://t.co/IM01lMeDyA
Many want to do AI for bio, but few are willing to build the wet lab. @tylerarose0 and @navvye at Bindwell built an 8,000 sq ft one in 30 days. Proud to support this team!
was part of the initial conversations while this high-throughput wet lab was being planned.
happy to see navvye and tyler both pull this off in so little time.
two of the most cracked af people i’ve worked with.
the era of bio is here. godspeed 🚀
