Congratulations to @ShanaOKelley and the teams at @NorthwesternEng and @biohub on this exciting announcement!
Professor @ShanaOKelley and @Biohub teams released an AI “world model” of protein biology—one that learns how proteins work, then predicts and designs new ones.

The energy at CBX’s “Next Gen Protein Design: AI, Quantum + Beyond” says it all—this is a real inflection point.
AI + computational advances are expanding what’s possible in biology. Quantum is starting to push those boundaries even further
