'AI-enabled drug discovery has yet to prove itself in the clinic. And on top of that, companies have to worry about intellectual property — regarding not only the drugs but also the discovery methods. “Everybody patents molecules,” says Alex Aliper, the president of Insilico Medicine, headquartered in New York City and Hong Kong. “For algorithms, it’s a choice.”
A new episode of the EMBO podcast is out. I spoke with Hsiao-Han Chang, Gytis Dudas, and Hedvig Tamman about viruses, hosts, spillovers, public health... And also starting a new lab, the challenges of mobility, mentorship, and Die Hard Dracula.

Happy to introduce our latest gizmo from the lab: pLSM !
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.31.543173v1
A big shoutout to our brilliant grad student, Yannan Chen, who led this work.
In short, pLSM is a plug-and-play, cost-effective and easy-to-scale light sheet microscopy platform. More than 20 times cheaper, with imaging quality comparable to high-end systems.

'Strong, durable vaccines are one of the main reasons that several countries have managed to eliminate measles—and why a paramyxovirus called rinderpest, once a major scourge of cattle, is one of the only infectious diseases we’ve ever managed to eradicate.'

'To eke out gains, private-equity firms have cut nursing staff, slashed services, and even, in at least one case early in the pandemic, made an explicit threat to close an institution unless it received taxpayer money. Many hospitals purchased by private-equity firms have been forced to pay consulting fees to their new overlords for access to their strategic brilliance.'

'This is a central Laurencin paradox: She thrived in an art world that was almost entirely male by painting a world filled almost exclusively by women. When Laurencin pursued the French tradition of the 18th-century fête galante painting — pastoral scenes of courtship, flirtation and romantic intrigue epitomized by the work of Antoine Watteau — she excised all the men.'

"Because of the attritional nature of contemporary peer review (and the level of aggression frequently encountered), successes in both papers and grants are nowadays likely to be met not with celebration, but a sense of exhausted relief. The pleasure is always fleeting."

In case it wasn’t clear what kind of person the new Speaker Mike Johnson is, here is an OpEd he wrote advising that states should “discriminate” against “homosexual conduct” and suggesting they pass laws around “sexual conduct outside marriage.” He is a Christo-Nationalist zealot. Of “The Handmaid’s Tale” variety.

New #posting! This one suggests that good #mentoring offers an escape to the #RedQueen problem faced by many (most? all?) contemporary group leaders in #academia. Hope you like it! 👇

"Yet, resident and circulating Treg had distinct TCR repertoires, and each LN contained exclusive clonal subpopulations of resident Treg. Our results demonstrate that, similar to conventional T cells, Treg can form resident memory-like populations in LNs after adaptive immune responses"
