1/ At Valence Labs, @recursionpharma.bsky.social's AI research engine, we’re focused on advancing drug discovery outcomes through cutting-edge computational methods

Today, we're excited to share our vision for building virtual cells, guided by the predict-explain-discover framework 🧡

Had a great time at the Ascona 2025 conference on benchmarking in biology! Thanks to @markrobinsonca.bsky.social and all other organizers.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to present our @polarishub.io platform at the historic and beautiful Monte VeritΓ  (β€œMount Truth”) venue.

Look at that view! 😍

⚑ The intermediate leaderboard for the antiviral challenge is now live!

πŸ‘€Β See how you placed: antiviral.polarishub.io

The challenge officially ends on March 10th, but there's one last leaderboard update before the final results.

Submit before midnight on Feb 26th! polarishub.io/competitions

Volgens mij ga je hierin voorbij aan het doel om elkaar beter te begrijpen. De nadruk ligt daarmee op het woord, niet de intentie.

Ik ben oprecht benieuwd hoe je hier over denkt als journalist.

Zet mij in ieder geval aan het denken!

Verrijkend gesprek! Leuk!

Ik hoor een interessante tegenstelling: Enerzijds blijkt taal voor interpretatie vatbaar, maar anderszijds discussiΓ«ren jullie specifieke woordkeuze.

Taal doet er toe - zeker als journalist - maar ik vraag me hardop af of je woordkeuze zo niet tΓ© veel macht geeft…

We’re extremely excited to host Runs N’ Poses on Polaris!

@polarishub.io has a benchmarking API which ensures you use the exact same split and metrics as everyone else. See the screenshot.

We're aiming to serve as a source of truth for machine learning in drug discovery. For context, see: polarishub.io/blog/reprodu...

Would love to hear your feedback!

With the increased activity on the platform recently, things have been breaking in new ways (sorry Windows users!), but I love it!

It shows that people are actually using Polaris! Our team is fixing issues as soon as we can and it’s helping us improve the overall robustness. Keep β€˜m coming! πŸ—οΈ

With @polarishub.io we early on decided to purposefully restrict the flexibility of our datasets and benchmarks.

We understand that this can be frustrating at times, but we believe it’s an important step to improve reproducibility.

Our team is here to help if you need support! Reach out on Github.
