An era where "non-profit" "academic" medical centers try to monetize every single thing possible. The mission is only money. :-( .

Watching the discussion on Deepseek from open-source tech people -- as an academic in medicine is depressing. Hope for an open future for AGI. Once, Banting gave away insulin for humanity. Salk refused to patent the polio vaccine. What do we live in?

Some thoughts about what I am looking forward this year from my vantage point of computational molecular biology. One mega-trend for me; we will definitely see more AI methods of all sorts emerge.

Inspired by the other amazing starter packs - here's one for cancer researchers!

I tried to make this broad - from immunology to genomics to cell biology and so much more..

This list also includes organizations & institutes supporting cancer researchers πŸ§ͺπŸ”¬βš•οΈπŸ©Ί

Hope its useful!

We need to have a β€˜code of conduct’ for reviewing manuscripts, like (1) if you say that something is not novel then provide the reference. (2) If you propose an experiment, state precisely to which claim it is crucial. (3) If you want to say something nasty then sign your name.

you know you're getting old when you watch a cartoon in the morning and a movie in the evening with your 6-year-old, and they both cover the same song you grew up with. Creep on the Hollow & guardians of the Galaxy 3. πŸ˜‚

Made a new feed for immunology content called ImmunoSky: bsky.app/profile/did:...

It will pick up any posts tagged with β‘‚ (best I could do for antibodies), #immunosky, or immunology jargon hash tags like #lymphocyte, #cd8, #mhc, &c

Exome sequencing identifies breast cancer susceptibility genes and defines the contribution of codin... Meta-analysis of three large whole-exome sequencing datasets highlights protein-truncating and rare missense variants associated with breast cancer susceptibility.

Large exome analysis finds a few additional cancer predisposition genes for breast cancer. However, Rare germline variants expected to in total only account for ~ 11% of familial risk for breast cancer.
