Autonomous Labs Revolutionize Research: Insights From Ginkgo, OpenAI, PNNLab
awesome talk about Autonomous labs from @Ginkgo, @OpenAI, and @PNNLab ! Check it out 👇
Add Biotech to Strategic Tech List, Stop China Outsourcing
We need to add biotech to the COINS Act list of strategic technologies alongside chips, AI, quantum, and drones. It is insane to outsource the genetic engineering industry to China with US VC's leading the way.
Roadster Is the Gateway to the Model 3
gotta start with the roadster if you are going to get to the model 3
GLP Diet: Lose Weight While Enjoying Favorite Foods
Get on the GLPs and you can eat whatever you want. I lost 15 lbs almost exclusively eating all my favorite meals every day Even started drinking full fat Coke again. It’s decadent
Couple Debates Whether Poo‑Tracking Camera Looks Odd
Ok help my wife and I settle a debate. Does this poo tracking camera make our toilet look weird ? (Poll in comments) https://t.co/MqDGBErHMW
Autonomous Labs Automate Tasks, Keep Scientists in Control
Agree, this is an important point from @baym. A Waymo is an autonomous car even if a human is in the back seat telling it where to go. Same for an Autonomous Lab, scientists can tell it what...
Curiosity Fuels AGI: Autonomous Labs Powered by GPT‑5
Awesome being on the @Sequoia Training Data podcast with @gradypb and @sonyatweetybird. Topic links in the 🧵 The most human part of intelligence is curiosity, and science is formalized curiosity. If we want AGI — doing the work of science is...
Reagent Spend Under 5%—Biotech Must Address Cost Gap
The thing to look at in biotech is your reagent costs as a % of your total research spending - inclusive of lab space, EHS, equipment maintenance, lab labor costs, etc. Lab data is the concrete output of biotech...
Consumer Longevity Research Gains Momentum with Ginkgo Cloud Lab
Really excited about the use of @Ginkgo Cloud Lab for consumers to do research in longevity and other consumer apps. These areas are less well-studied than you'd expect as US research funding is largely oriented towards disease. Fun chatting with @LongevityTech about...
Consumer Biotech Will Eclipse Tech, Health Is Ultimate Value
Consumer biotech will ultimately be bigger than consumer tech. What’s more valuable to people than health and wellness?
Use Task‑specific Robots, Not Humanoids, for Lab Automation
Bingo. Couldn't agree more with @travisk here -- humanoid robots aren't right for the scientific lab either. You want the specialized robot best suited for the job at hand. We learned that at @ginkgo the same way, by...
Consumer Biotech Set to Outgrow Disease‑Focused Pharma
GLP-1s already have market cap close to 1/3 of the top 10 biopharma companies combined. Consumer health biotech products will dwarf disease-focused biotech products.
AI Democratizes Protein Design for Creative, Non‑drug Applications
Now that is cool. Would love to see more people just trying to design crazy new proteins for non-drug applications like this. Protein design is wildly better / more accessible than it was just a few years ago...
Autonomous Labs vs Traditional Automation: Key Differences Explained
I get asked a lot how Autonomous Labs are different than traditional lab automation, here’s how 👇 Happy to take Qs in comments too https://t.co/AdGMiQWHHT
Conversational AI Unlocks Hidden Value in Scientific Literature
So cool to see the focus on really mining the scientific literature from @EdisonSci — it’s where a ton of valuable information is waiting and having models conversant in it is a big deal 👏👏👏
Age‑Restricted Longevity Drugs: Accept Risks After 70
We should have a class of drugs you can only sell to people over 70 —super aggro longevity stuff, muscle regeneration, etc - tolerate more possible bad side effects given you don’t have much time left for effects to manifest...
Model‑Robotics Loop Accelerates Experimental Discovery Rates
Agree completely with @kevinweil this loop between models and robotic labs works today and it’s going to be exciting the directions that scientists take autonomous labs. Feels inevitable that it will yield a great speed up in our...
LLMs Poised for Near‑term Breakthroughs via Autonomous Labs
Not true. LLMs can run experiments with access to an autonomous lab and this is where they'll make scientific breakthroughs in the near term. Running experiments is about logical experimental planning (controls, replicates, etc), data analysis, and cycling on that. ...
Fundamental Flaw Identified in Cloud Lab Business Model
My take on issue w cloud lab biz model so far — I have some ideas to improve this coming up, but this is fundamental issue from my standpoint.
Autonomous Labs Will Redefine Biotechnology Within Five Years
I used my talk at the JPM conference this year to deep dive on @Ginkgo's future direction - building autonomous labs that replace traditional manually-operated laboratories. Wherever you see a lab bench today you will see one of Ginkgo's autonomous labs...
Autonomous Labs Enable Diverse Overnight Experiments, Not Just Repeats
What’s exciting now with autonomous labs is you can get the closer to the flexibility of the bench but automated. So you could design 200 different experiments to run overnight and read out for you in the morning. ...
Autonomous Labs Free Scientists From Bench Work
Great article from @packyM and @evanbeard -- I agree with this distinction between automation and autonomy. We've been working on autonomy with our autonomous labs at @Ginkgo -- much needed to get scientists off the lab bench, more in...
Cheap Generic Antibiotics Deliver Massive Healthcare Savings
Correct. This is why we should push more of healthcare towards medicine. By far the highest leverage technology in healthcare. Consider the $5 generic antibiotic you take that saves a hospital stay. Insane savings.
US Must Shift to Robotic Labs to Stay Competitive
This is happening because scientific research in the US is done by hand at the lab bench. China is very good at having lots of skilled, manual labor. We need to move our paradigm for doing science off the lab...
U.S. Leverages Drug Spending Power to Block Chinese Biotech
Yep. Truth from @zavaindar Though unlike cars, phones, solar panels, etc, US controls the biotech market because we are only ones who pay fair price for drugs (70% of profits originate from US consumers). So we can stop...
Autonomous Labs Needed to Keep US Biotech Competitive
Haha. Yes was lucky to be on a panel today w/ Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill about how to keep the US competitive with biotech in China. Short answer: replace US lab benches with autonomous labs. (And fix our clinical...
Lab Automation Accelerates: RACs Deploy in Boston
Check out the video below from Rashard showing how we test the integration of ginkgo’s RAC automation with the specific vagaries of a piece of fancy lab equipment— then mine showing a bunch of RACs showing up for our new...
Elon Musk Proves Society Now Embraces Higher Tech Risk
Yeah I agree -- I think @elonmusk has shown in the last 10 years that you can take more risk than people thought in the world of atoms. (that's in part why the vibe is it like it is in...
