Ah, the Isomorphic Labs Drug Design Engine, where buzzwords frolic in a field of unfulfilled promises 🌸! They've apparently "unlocked" the future of medicine using mind-reading computers 🧙♂️🔮, but can't even unlock the mystery of writing a coherent sentence. Spoiler alert: it's just #AlphaFold with a fancy hat. 🎩

I would take this jab, ngl
no serious side effects and of course company values went _way_ up like _bigly_

New server, new #introduction
Hi, I'm Dave. I'm a Research #Scientist at a Research Institute in #London, #UK
I'm a #StructuralBiologist by training. I help run a group that studies #Kinase #signalling in human #health and #disease.
In my spare time I take photos, play #bass and walk #dogs.
I do #Crystallography #CryoEM #Biophysics #DrugDesign and #Glycobiology. #Science #Research

PKMYT1 is a promising target for #cancer #drug developmenent. While some inhibitors such as RP-6036 are available for some time, researchers from InSilico #Medicine have now introduced a novel #PROTAC degrader based on their computational design of a novel inhibitor. This study was now published in #Nature Communications (2025):

To treat diseases, proteins are often targeted for inhibition. Recently, PROTACs emerged as an alternative approach, degrading proteins by recruiting a ubiquitinase followed by a protease.
In J Med Chem, Darci Trader (UC California) and colleagues demonstrated that the protease can be engaged without ubiquitinase recruitment. Though early-stage and less active than PROTACs, this offers a promising new direction.

Schrödinger CEO Ramy Farid's hot takes contradict many dogmas in the AI #drugdesign industry:
That attaching the workhorse of the wet lab to the #AI cart will make it go; that designing small molecule drugs with AI will work at all; that all of the startups purporting to use AI are actually telling the truth.

Designing safer opioidsOpioid medications offer people relief from debilitating #pain, but these #drugs come with dangers: the risk for addiction, miserable withdrawal symptoms and the potential for fatal overdose. Researchers have identified a strategy to design safer #opioids. They showed that an experimental opioid, which binds to an unconventional spot in the receptor, suppresses pain in animal models with fewer side effects.

Basecamp Research goes to volcanoes, the ocean, the tundra, the rainforest 🌋🌊❄️🌴
all to provide genome sequences to feed the ever-ravenous beast of #AI models that companies hope will one day spit out biomolecules that Mother Nature has herself not yet birthed.
