    Huge day for Recursion and for neuroscience - so proud of our team for doing so many world firsts to achieve this and so excited to be working with the exceptional teams at Roche and Genentech to make great strides towards new neuro targets!
    Announcing the 1st #neuroscience phenomap – “Neuromap” – optioned under our collaboration with @Roche and @genentech for $30m. To build it, we produced over 1 trillion hiPSC-derived #neuronal cells – one of the largest such datasets – & scaled new genetic perturbation techniques.

    Each of us at @RecursionPharma have our own reasons for doing what we do. For some, it's a chance to take a swing at diseases that stole a loved one away from us too early. For others, it's the challenge of working on really hard problems with really smart people. And for others

    Totally agree @bradloncar. Here are a few tips for those looking to partner with various TechBio companies who themselves don't have deep AI expertise to apply to diligence. 1) Look for groups who have significant representation from both bio/chem on their teams as well as

    When I finished my PhD and took a leave of absence from med school to start Recursion, I told my wife I thought the chances we would ‘make it’ were ~1%, but the impact would be so huge for patients if it worked that I had to try. Surreal to think back to day one now 3651 days
    Yesterday marked 10 years since our founding. We've come so far in our mission to decode biology, but we're just getting started.🚀 #drugdiscovery #techbio
