1/ We @OctantBio are excited to help start the OpenADMET consortium, catalyzed by this grant from @ARPA_H! We will build open datasets, competitions and ultimately foundation models for small molecule PK and safety properties. In the 🧵👇, I'll describe the problem & our approach
Congrats, @fraser_lab! Up to $30M from @ARPA_H for AI-driven effort to speed drug discovery by mapping interactions that cause side effects, with @QBI_UCSF 's help. tiny.ucsf.edu/2oP8KT

We've started IND-enabling studies on a small molecule corrector for Rho-associated autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (Rho-adRP). I thought it would be fun to spend some time walking through our approach and why we are excited. Long 🧵1/

Since the start of the pandemic, @OctantBio has been quietly building out a HT Chemistry platform to complement our HT Synbio and multiplexed assay platforms. It's been super exciting, and you can read more in the blog post & 🧵👇🏾octant.bio/blog-posts/miniat…

I can’t repeat often enough how special a place @OctantBio is! The last 2 years have been a time of incredible learning.
A short thread of some of the (technical and non-technical) things I learned:

So @nlarusstone finally gave his notice to leave @OctantBio and start his journey as a founder. We'll miss him, but it also means we are hiring his replacement. More in the 🧵 octant.bio/jobs?gh_jid=45974…

I can’t recommend working @OctantBio highly enough.
@srikosuri and @rhomsany have built an incredible culture and are amazing mentors.
There are tons of fun problems left to solve — so if you’re interested in high-throughput, high dimensional data problems, check out the link!

Excited to add @_bakshay to the growing compute team @OctantBio ! Akshay will be working on our toughest ML and statistics problems and lead our transition as we go from ML (learning on big data) to AI (design of experiments).
Congrats to 2 postdocs in the lab transitioning to greener pastures. ML guru @_bakshay is joining @OctantBio as one of their lead ML scientists, The versatile Mahfuza Sharmin is joining Thermo Fisher as a data scientist. Look forward to great things from u both.

After a spirited @OctantBio lunchtime debate over the best cheap pizza chain, we decided to arrive at the answer scientifically. As you can see, this was a rigorous study with both intern judges blindfolded. Results to come.

If you are the type of person that obsesses about automation, when to do it, when not too, when to go simple, when to outsource, when to hack things together and when to industrialize, you'd make an awesome first automation engineer @OctantBio. We are hiring (link in next tweet)
