We just wanna give tools to the whole scientific community.
We wanna understand how biology works. I wanna understand the genetics of this person. I wanna understand the risks they have to different illnesses. My goal is to be able to treat the individual as an individual, understand the mechanisms, and be able to intervene.
We'll have a bigger impact by getting us in more scientists hands quicker by doing it as open source projects instead. It's not just like there's some factory somewhere that you can pay to produce the data. You actually need to invent new novel scientific approaches. The theory isn't that we're gonna cure the diseases. We're not. It's that we wanna help accelerate the pace of progress for the
whole scientific field. We folded over 1,100,000,000 proteins and predicted their structures, and we didn't design a model for antibodies. We didn't design a model to be able to bind one particular target. We just designed a model that could understand proteins.
If we could design a protein to actually change the physiology, then we can actually cure someone.
Today on No Priors, we're joined by Mark Zuckerberg, Priscilla Chan, and Alex Reeves. We'll be talking about Biohub and all their various efforts to now start applying AI at scale to do world models of cells and different levels of interactions across biology.
Mark, Priscilla, thank you for doing this.
