I'm happy to share that our work with the PROFOUND consortium at @helmholtzai.bsky.social has just been accepted to @neuripsconf.bsky.social! Kudos to all the co-authors, especially Chanwoong Hwang, who is now the most junior former group member to contribute to an A* conference! @hzdr.bsky.social

Imagine: you completed and analysed a genome-wide high-content phenotypic screen, so what do you make of it? We say: just ask the screen? Yes, using plain English! Here's a genome-wide screen for HPI in VACV infection that you can talk to. BioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @hzdr.bsky.social
