We chose eLabFTW for our AI lab build
What we needed from our lab notebook, and why we chose eLabFTW for AI integration.
From high-throughput screening to AI learning at the bench
TLDR: Google just dropped an AI-guided aptamer discovery paper. My PhD project focused on aptamer discovery too! Interesting things I noticed about the Google paper: 1) Google and I ran into similar problems 15 years apart: some aptamers were strongly binding, but not to the intended target. 2) Google's AI noticed the problem and compensated, potentially saving weeks of troubleshooting on the bench. 3) The trend is towards increasing automation and “self-driving labs.”
Two new awards support Kupalab's buildout
A Department of Medicine Research Grant and a SUNY Upstate Cancer Center Research Pilot Grant will help hire our first postdoc, equip the lab and generate pilot data for our first external funding applications.
