A new generative deep-learning system, BioEmu, has achieved a scientific breakthrough in protein modeling. Led by Prof. Dr. Frank Noé and Prof. Dr. Cecilia Clementi (Freie Universität Berlin/Microsoft Research), BioEmu accurately predicts structural ensembles and thermodynamic properties, including hidden binding pockets and protein stability changes. The technology and code are freely available.

The convergence of AI and synthetic biology: the looming deluge

"automated DNA synthesis platforms controlled by algorithms could be covertly manipulated to generate pathogenic sequences or optimize the virulence of existing pathogens. While such biosecurity risks predate the emergence of AI-synbio convergence, the accelerated pace and expanded scope of bioengineering enabled by these technologies can strain existing governance and security frameworks49. Ultimately, there are emerging concerns that AI-biotechnology convergence may inspire or amplify dual use research of concern"

"AI-assisted bioengineering could also be used to enhance the transmissibility, stability, or target specificity of existing pathogens, leading to the creation of novel threats."

Confronting the Legacy of Eugenics and Ableism: Towards Anti-Ableist Bioscience Education

https://www.lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cbe.23-10-0195

A great article and not just for bioscience, it's instructive and educational on the ableism and eugenic topics.

Fitzsimons Innovation Community strives to expand hub for science and healthcare

“These companies don’t have a lot of money, and they really need that support of people who are helping them start the company, get to (clinical) trials, and see if their drugs or their life-saving technology can actually work.” – Kelly Brough

"Conan the Bacterium" can withstand radiation that could kill a human. Scientists say they’ve found its secret weapon.

From @CNN: "A type of bacteria called Deinococcus radiodurans can withstand radiation doses 28,000 times greater than those that would kill a human being — and the secret to its success is rooted in an antioxidant."

PhD project in #OpenScience, please boost Deadline 7 Jan.

Join the BioRDM team at #EdinburghUniversity to study Electronic Lab Notebooks in #BioScience! We work alongside bench biologists 'at the coalface'. This PhD will analyse how our colleagues use ELNs, how we and they together can improve their #metadata, and whether using an ELN really leads to more or FAIRer data sharing.

Fuding is competitive, for non-UK citizens.

This is a reminder for those interested in #bioscience, #biotech, #biopharma, etc., about an excellent #networking event next week. Amrita Madabushi has been immersed in this area for quite some time, and, through EmpowerBio, she offers outstanding support and opportunities for those trying to learn more or increase their network.

The BioNavigators website has great #blog posts by Hannah LaMond, Sabrina Daglish, and Madeline Valentine. These posts do a wonderful job of discussing some hurdles in #STEM and #GraduateSchool. This time, though, we tried something different. We asked ChatGPT-3.5 to write about AI's uses, challenges, and ethics in #bioscience. Check out the post and let us know what you think.

Stay tuned for more job updates, podcasts, and blog posts (even one by Microsoft Copilot!).
