Had a fun time chatting about peptides and pythons with Australia’s @DavidWoiwod and Monique. Live from the @sunriseon7 Melbourne studio- full interview here: youtu.be/1O_0DJHiGxo?is=aAYi…

Reporting out today- Phase 1 clinical data, oral Lac-Phe mimetic ENV-308 from @enveda. No safety signals (good) and some changes in other biomarkers including leptin (!)… Phase 2 trials planned in for weight maintenance. @statnews statnews.com/2026/08/18/enve…

Very proud of our new postdoc Zhuoran Li, who has been awarded a @DamonRunyon Fellowship! Zhuoran will discover new brain-derived peptides and determine how they regulate appetite and cancer metabolism. @StanfordPath @StanfordDRC damonrunyon.org/discovery/da…

For decades, we’ve known that the ENPP1 K173Q variant raises type 2 diabetes risk, but not why. New work from @SongnanW in @li_lingyin's lab, in collaboration with @SvenssonLab, shows that this variant may promote metabolic dysfunction in brown adipose tissue.

This is so cool! Congrats Isha and team!
Replying to @ishahjain
Instead of starting with a disease and searching for a drug…we started with a therapy (individual vitamin) and asked: which genetic diseases might they rescue? Essentially a new flavor of nutrigenomics.

Today we share a technical report demonstrating how our drug design engine achieves a step-change in accuracy for predicting biomolecular structures, more than doubling the performance of AlphaFold 3 on key benchmarks and unlocking rational drug design even for examples it has never seen before. Head to the comments to read our blog.
