AI in Biology: No Bio Degree? You CAN Join Us! #ai #aibio
Skeptics question the utility of ML skills in biology. Proof: individuals at Profluent with zero prior biology experience, expert only in NLP, rapidly demonstrate value in biological research within weeks. #MachineLearning #bioinformatics Profluent AI enables 10X expansion of actionable mutations for base editing, surpassing current SpCas9 limitations. This significantly broadens the addressable market and patient pool. #GeneEditing #AIinBiotech Profluent just signed a $2.25B partnership with Eli Lilly to develop AI-designed gene editors - one of the largest deals to date between a frontier AI biology lab and big pharma. It capped a huge few weeks for AI in bio, alongside Verve's base-editing data, new scaling results on protein models, and Isomorphic Labs' latest raise.
