Hello,
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan’s philanthropic venture Biohub has launched a world model for protein biology aimed at accelerating drug discovery.
The model is based on the fourth generation of evolutionary scale modeling, which learns from protein sequences shaped by evolution to better understand protein biology.
The launch comes as drugmakers increasingly turn to AI-powered modeling tools and automated labs to improve research efficiency and speed up drug discovery.
In women’s health, Sirona Foundation, the social impact arm of feminine hygiene company Sirona Hygiene, has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing menstrual equity ahead of Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28.
