The Virtual Lab: AI Agents Design New SARS-CoV-2 Nanobodies with Experimental Validation Science frequently benefits from teams of interdisciplinary researchers. However, most scientists don't have access to experts from multiple fields. Fortunately, large language models (LLMs) have rece...

The Virtual Lab, an AI-human research collaboration, was applied to design nanobody binders for recent variants of SARS-CoV-2.

The designed nanobodies were experimentally validated, revealing a range of functional nanobodies with promising profiles.

Funny that the Joao Pereira from Seleção is the exact same person that now coaches Sporting, which seems the kind of person that must be very smart and surely has a PhD and also does clever experiments with neurons. Are you sure it's not you? (Sorry, I'll stop now. I promise)

And you are the new coach of Sporting CP as well, small detail ; )

I thought about putting together an ex-academic scientist starter pack, but I quit that too.

The US is an outlier among wealthy democracies in having a government that, on average, continues to get older.
