The headlines are screaming about a TechBio "dip." They're missing the point. I'm convinced this is the moment to double down, not back down. Here's why the conviction is stronger than ever. 🧵 #TechBio #AI #biotech

Despite headwinds in capital markets and some big pharma strategy shifts in the UK, I’m deeply optimistic about #TechBio here! AI-discovered drugs are showing Phase 1 success rates well above industry averages, and the UK’s TechBio talent is world-class. Thanks to @BIA_UK for bringing the community together. Huge opportunity ahead 🇬🇧!!! #AI #Biotech #UKInnovation

It’s an incredible morning here at @RecursionPharma as we kick off our annual TechBio Symposium! 🚀 For the first time since the Recursion and Exscientia teams combined last year, our entire company is together in person—a deeply meaningful moment. The energy in the room is absolutely palpable! The theme of the week is #OneRecursion, and that’s what this is all about: forging a truly unified team. This event is our intentional investment in building and strengthening the connections across countries and continents, disciplines and functions. Over the next two days, we’ll see over 120 employee-led talks, all designed to deepen our shared understanding of how each of the pieces of what we’re building—from biology to chemistry, engineering to machine learning—come together to deliver on our mission. I’m kicking things off with a keynote on our forward-looking vision: Recursion in 2030 & Beyond. But that vision is just a blueprint. To execute it, we need shared conviction, passion and commitment – and that’s what comes through most when I look out at this crowd. What we are doing—creating a new kind of end-to-end, industrialized drug discovery engine from the ground up—is expansive, challenging, and has never been done before. We're trying to fundamentally build a better way to discover and develop new medicines, and the people in this room are the ones who will make that ambitious vision a reality. I’m leaving the stage feeling energized and profoundly optimistic about the future we're building, together! #TechBioSymposium #TechBio #FutureofMedicine #Teamwork #DrugDiscovery

Big bets on technology have changed many industries. But where is that same boldness in pharma? Our industry is trapped by conventional thinking and incrementalism. Delivering breakthroughs requires systems-level changes – and a willingness to embrace ambitious ideas and the failures that inevitably come with striving along the way.
