2) Solving a scientific problem does not equal market opportunities.
Bv. ImmuneWatch. Sterke tech maar lang zoeken naar product-market fit. Na eerst diagnostiek te exploreren lijken we die gevonden te hebben met software/service model.

Is het not done om hier naar Linkedin te linken?πŸ€”

Heb daar even drie take aways uitgeschreven:
1) Stay Flexible
Bv. Kultured: Succesvolle Krautfunding en initiele B2C verkoop maar verdere groei viel tegen. Pivot naar B2B lijkt way to go.

If you asked me 10 years ago, I wouldn't have guessed that I would ever give a guest lecture on "Innovation and Entrepreneurship"

Talks about microbiology, sequencing technologies, gene editing technologies, fermentation or bioinformatics: yes. But Entrepreneurship, nah :)

Tonight at a public meeting I clapped when everyone else was murmuring in fear and worry about the idea of reducing the number of lanes on a road in order to accommodate wider sidewalks and bike lanes. Definitely an outlier.

Podcast: The Repertoire Room - Episode 2 featuring Stanislav Poslavsky (MiLaboratories)

Episode 2 of my podcast, the Repertoire Room is live!

In this podcast I hope to have insightful conversations with people working on TCR sequencing and analysis.

Now I sat down with the developer of one of the most used tools in the field: MiXCR

We are looking for a postdoc to study single-cell transcriptional heterogeneity in the human skin microbiome.

We have a new protocol mostly developed, but need someone to see it through. Experience with protocol dev or RNAseq appreciated.

Funded by a new grant from MIT-HEALS.

Het aantal verkeersdoden in een land en stad is een politieke keuze. Geen technische. Dit is oud nieuws en al heel lang bekend. Doe wat Helsinki en Oslo doen die al jarenlang nul verkeersdoden hebben. Bange politici weigeren de automobilist aan te pakken.

AlphaFold - A practical guide AlphaFold - A practical guide

Recently I learnt that EMBL-EBI has a free online course about AlphaFold β€” how it works, strengths and limitations, how to use it β€” and it's very good!

There are also little quizzes and interactives.

Extremely excited to see a glimpse of my previous career in microbiome research here at #AACR25 with a talk from the great @cibiocm.bsky.social!

Reminds me of my great research stay I did in his lab in Trento.

After a windy bike ride next to the lake, I am completely ready for week 2 of my US trip.

Reach out if you want to talk bikes, I mean TCR repertoires, coming days here in Chicago at #AACR25
