Genetics student Garyk B. and his EVO2 team create new AI tool to help make the language of biology more accessible to researchers: Stanford Genetics: https://lnkd.in/ghfiZPiA Garyk Brixi & his EVO2 Team: https://lnkd.in/g65AbHXC Imagine being able to speed up evolution – hypothetically – to learn which genes might have a harmful or beneficial effect on human health. Imagine, further, being able to rapidly generate new genetic sequences that could help cure disease or solve environmental challenges. Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford Genetics student Garyk Brixi & his EVO2 Team have developed a generative AI tool that can predict the form and function of proteins coded in the DNA of all domains of life, identify molecules that could be useful for bioengineering and medicine, and allow labs to run dozens of other standard experiments with a virtual query – in minutes or hours instead of years (or millennia). #dna #health #AI #machinelearning #genes #evolution #human #molecules #biology #language Stanford University

Congratulations Professor Michael Snyder on receiving the Pioneer Award at the PMWC - Precision Medicine World Conference today!

Join us today at the 24th Precision Medicine World Conference 2025! Hear speakers from Stanford Genetics department and research teams from around the world highlighting key discoveries & innovations in the field.

🚨 Spotlight on Precision Medicine Innovator: Mike Snyder 🚨 PMWC 2025 will honor Mike Snyder, a leading researcher in systems biology and precision health, during the Multi-omics and Wearables for Disease Intervention and Prevention track on February 7th. Mike Snyder’s pioneering work combines multi-omics data with wearable technologies, offering a detailed and dynamic view of human physiology. His research underscores how integrating genomic, biochemical, microbiome, and wearable data enables precision health monitoring, early disease detection, and tailored interventions. 🔬 Scientific Highlights from Mike’s Research: 1️⃣ Integrative Data for Personalized Health: Studies led by Snyder have revealed how smartwatch, microbiome, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data can predict optimal interventions, such as personalized exercise timing for individuals with insulin resistance or sensitivity. 2️⃣ Comprehensive Health Monitoring: A landmark deep-profiling study (Rose et al., 2019) combined wearable, omics, and clinical data, leading to 49 major health discoveries in 109 participants, demonstrating the power of integrative approaches in identifying early disease markers and health trends. 3️⃣ Ethical and Inclusive Research: Snyder emphasizes accessibility in wearable technologies and advocates for training algorithms on individual data to enhance inclusivity and ensure personalized benefits for diverse populations. 💡 Future Directions in Precision Medicine: Expanding real-time physiological monitoring through wearables. Integrating multi-omics data to refine clinical decision-making. Addressing ethical considerations in data sharing and predictive analytics, with an emphasis on patient-driven control of actionable and non-actionable health information. 📚 Key Resources: Rose et al., 2019: Foundational study on integrated health profiling.
