@vita_dao was the first check into @vitarnabio when Michael only had an idea. He's one of the best builders in biotech; if you're sitting on an early idea and want to see what crypto funding can do for it, go meet him in London.
See you guys in London in November! Let’s keep building! #twitter instagr.am/p/DdtaKO4RGKy/

Making science accessible also means making it affordable. Good to see @anagenxyz working to bring GLP-1s within reach of more people 🧬

Tech gets exponentially faster and cheaper every year. So why does developing a new drug keep getting slower and more expensive? There's a name for this backwards trend: Eroom's Law. (Moore's Law spelled in reverse.) 🧵

Our devs are non-stop working on improving the user experience and app interface. A public demo for everyone to test will be published soon! To find more info and a video of the app: launch.neurolabai.io/
One compound. One research question. Start with a name or SMILES, inspect the returned target information, then open the report. Follow the NeuroLab walkthrough from input to output

Agents can support discovery from connecting datasets to incorporating lab results with researchers guiding each step. Join @RafaDeSci and @jmartink on Sep 23 in Zürich to discuss human-in-the-loop science and what it means for drug discovery. Request your invitation below ↓
Our team is in Zürich this Wednesday, hosted by RoX Health, the digital health innovation studio of @Roche! They will talk about how agentic AI & frontier models are shaping the healthcare value chain, from lab-in-the-loop discovery to data analytics.

1/2 How does neurosymbolic reasoning enhance new and existing drug discovery pipelines? For NeuroLab, the direction is clear: combine structured scientific context with multi-scale inference across a vast knowledge graph of biomedical entities, and then make the reasoning path more inspectable than a score alone. Read the explainer: nitter.net/NootropicsDAO_/status/…
✍️How does Neurolab forecast what a molecule will actually do? Learn how the system uses knowledge graphs, GNNs and neurosymbolic reasoning to forecast multi-scale effects — all while keeping outputs traceable and uncertainty visible. Read more here ↓

A Gentle Introduction to Neurosymbolic Reasoning in Drug Discovery Pipelines

Hand a chemist a new molecule and they can tell you its shape. But, that isn't the question anyone actually has. What will the molecule do? That's what we all we want to know, and this is what we all

Yes we know the fly can play games. We trained it on human PET receptor maps, the molecular signatures of compounds and our own knowledge graph. Give it a drug and it predicts where it will bind in the human brain, and how activity changes there as you add it. Receptor landscape in. Molecule in. Region + effect out.

What does scientific discovery look like when researchers and AI agents work together? At PeptAI, we’re interested in workflows where researchers set the direction and apply scientific judgment, while agents help connect datasets, run bioinformatics tools, support experiment design, and bring lab results into the next round of discovery. On September 23, we’ll join RoX Health in Switzerland to explore what practical lab-in-the-loop drug discovery could look like. If you work in peptide research, bioinformatics, experimental biology, or AI for science, join us. RSVP below ↓

5/ @peptai_ Peptai, @BioProtocol's AI agent for peptide design, is now working on designing flavor from scratch. It builds small proteins tuned to bind directly to receptors on the tongue, targeting tastes that don't exist anywhere in nature, a flavor category with no natural precedent. Designs are finalizing ahead of lab production and human tasting.
For all of history, flavor has been something humans discovered. Now, @peptai_ is designing it from scratch. Build tiny proteins that speak to the receptors on tongue, tuned toward a taste nature never produced. This opens a category of flavor that has never existed.

6/ @Spine_DAO > SpineDAO is building a queryable archive of spine surgery expertise that answers from recorded practice, or tells you when it doesn't know. A new piece by SpineDAO cofounder and spine surgeon @challaire with computer scientist Nassim Dehouche, argues that refusals are worth treating as data, since each one marks exactly where the field's teaching doesn't cover what surgeons actually need. Aggregated over a year, that adds up to a map that could reshape how conferences pick topics, how societies decide what to pay for a talk, and how expert opinion, the least rigorous tier of evidence, finally gets measured instead of just asserted. > @Spine_DAO is also building x402 rails to gather specific spine care intelligence.
