Finally got around to writing up some of our progress at @dittobio.bsky.social ! Check out our inaugural blog post to learn how my favorite parasites (aka viruses 😎) can improve target selection and help discover blockbuster drug mechanisms for autoimmune disease: www.dittobio.com/blog/2025-03...

Mapping parasite molecules to treat autoimmune disease | Ditto Bio
How we use parasite biology and our MoleculeMapper platform to improve target selection for autoimmune disease — including a viral molecule that invented the same mechanism as a blockbuster drug.

A decade ago my benchmate Lina Leon and I were studying viruses and CRISPR together in grad school. Now Lina’s building immune assays at @dittobio.bsky.social to test our therapeutics proteins! Maybe the real PhD is the friends you make along the way [photo cred @jbdsf.bsky.social , 2016]

The best immunologists on Earth don't have PhDs. They're parasites. Today's spotlight 🧵(and big inspo for @ dittobio): ticks! And if you like this, stay tuned because we will be sharing cool parasite facts each week #TickTalk

Inaugural Bluesky post! 🦋 Last May I quit my job to start Ditto Bio with Emily Weiss and @mezarque.bsky.social We turn parasite molecules into drugs for autoimmune disease, and we are now backed by @ycombinator.com.web.brid.gy Stay tuned 👀
