Can generative models of viral evolution to predict viral mutants that escape from antibodies ? - see poster/ spotlight talk at ICML WCB icml-compbio.github.io/2021/…
Fabulous - and tested - more than wishful thinking. Now - what shall we design ?
This twirling work of science is special ✨ AFAIK, it's the first crystal structure of a functional #protein fully designed by #AI A milestone in our quest to use language models to generate proteins that are unseen in nature & can function well in the real-world. Read below👇

We want to build generative models to predict functional sequences: E.g. What future viral sequences will emerge? Check our paper at ICML 2021 led by grad student @EliWeinstein6 proceedings.mlr.press/v139/w… 1/7

Shocking even to me - 88% AUCs from these microbiome papers can’t be trusted - data leakage ++ - time to check other ML- Bio claims arxiv.org/abs/2107.03611

#SARS_CoV_2 is there a trade off between transmissibility and pathogenicity ?
13%Yes - worst is over
26%No chance
60%Only over long time scale
