Chroma out in Nature today! So glad to finally be able to share details of our experimental validation including x-ray crystallography with the world 💎 tl;dr, our generative model for protein design is working really well. Publicly available code, click through below!
Today we release Chroma, our generative model for protein design, open-source on Github with a Nature publication describing its biophysical and crystallographic validation. Chroma Conditioners enable one model to target multiple protein design objectives. generatebiomedicines.com/chr…

Thrilled to share my first paper from grad school out today in Mol Cell! I am incredibly grateful to the Elledge lab and my wonderful collaborators/friends, without them this work would not have been possible. cell.com/molecular-cell/full…
A delight to reconnect with @SchmidtFellows at the Senior Fellows event in Northern CA! The community is more vibrant than ever. Wishing a wonderful meeting series this week to the new fellows!
My final first-author paper from the Elledge lab describing dCas9-based peptide/protein display by gRNA barcode sequencing is now out @CellRepMethods!
CasPlay provides a gRNA-barcoded CRISPR-based display platform for antibody repertoire profiling dlvr.it/SbFq54

Eric and Wendy Schmidt announce the 2022 Schmidt Science Fellows - schmidtsciencefellows.org/ne… 29 new Fellows will harness interdisciplinary science to make a positive impact on the world @SchmidtFutures @Rhodes_Trust
If I retweeted all of Chidi’s accomplishments my Twitter would just be that! But this is really big! Congrats Chidi on all the hard work paying off!!!!
Excited to announce that the first paper from my PhD work is now out!
We characterized a uniquely essential cell wall synthesis enzyme (PBP-lipo) in M. abscessus that is required for normal cell growth/division and mediates sensitivity to several abx.

Introducing Dr. Chidiebere Akusobi. MD, PhD.
8 years later my journey at Harvard Medical School has come to an end. Right now I’m feeling blessed and incredibly grateful for the process and my progress. Thank you to my family, dear friends, and wonderful communities. We did it!
Had an amazing experience attending and presenting at @CMBE_BMES! Hugely grateful to the conference organizers for putting together an amazing program in this picturesque locale. So grateful to connect and reconnect with the community – at Indian Wells, CA

Truly thrilled to share with you that I have been selected as a 2021 Young Talent from the #FondationLOreal and @UNESCO For Women in Science program #FWIS!
I am incredibly honored to be included among these brilliant young scientists! ⬇️ – at Paris, France
We have to keep fighting so that gender stereotypes don't become social standards. That is why the #FondationLOreal and @UNESCO created the Young Talents awards. Huge congrats to our 2021 #biology awardees in France. ⤵️👏
Thank you @VIBLifeSciences for a lovely and thought-provoking conference, and for giving me this opportunity to spread the word about PICASSO! Please check out my paper @MolecularCell to read about our CRISPR-based peptide display and self-assembly strategy (link in pinned tweet)
The #GESB21 poster prize winner is @KarlBarbr of @BrighamWomens, @harvardmed and @HHMINEWS with his research on dCas9-fusion peptide library display and DNA-templated peptide microarray self-assembly for quantitative protein binding assays. Congratulations! 🏅🥂
