“AI is not a magical solution to these problems. Data gaps can be filled through experimentation, but it takes time and deep pockets.”
Creating a consortium to generate open, high-quality experimental datasets is our 5-year plan ⁦Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC)⁩. ft.com/content/b279d3…

Today is the International Day of #HuntingtonsDiseaseAwareness . Read more about the recent visit of the @huntingtonsc to the SGC. Families saw firsthand the progress of Rachel Harding' group in #HDResearch .
