AI-assisted Protein Design, ft. Rico Meinl

​Nucleate’s AIxBio Tech Talks provide real-world insight into how AI is transforming biotech. In each session, attendees will hear from a leading practitioner in AIxBio about their vision and technical approach, followed by a Q&A.

​In this session, join Rico Meinl, Head of Applied AI at Retro Biosciences, to explore how AI is reshaping cellular reprogramming. As a lead developer of GPT-4b, a protein language model built in partnership with OpenAI, Rico will share how his team used GPT-4b micro to redesign SOX2 and KLF4 transcription factors—dramatically improving their efficiency and speed. Drawing from his experience at the forefront of AIxBio, he’ll highlight the power of computational methods in optimizing complex biological processes like Yamanaka factors, unlocking new possibilities for regenerative medicine.

​Wednesday, March 19th, at 3pm PST / 6pm EST, on zoom.
