Jaymin

I used Claude to train a protein language model that can generate an extremophilic version of any enzyme, maintaining its function, while allowing it to survive extreme temperatures, pH, salinity, etc.

Faith Ogundimu

Diffuse midline glioma is a paediatric brainstem cancer that is almost uniformly fatal: about ninety percent of children die within two years, and the first systemic drug, approved in 2025, does not cure.

PerturbGate

PerturbGate is an open-data, reproducible pipeline that turns a genome-scale primary human CD4 T-cell Perturb-seq screen into evidence-gated mechanism hypotheses — not another ranking of hits.

Verastar

Verastar is a morning literature harness built by and for a busy vascular surgeon who can't read the hundreds of papers published in her field each month, yet can't afford to miss them.

SecondLook

SecondLook is a trust layer for an AI basal cell carcinoma detector, built for a dermatopathologist, Mohs surgeon, or dermatologist reading skin-pathology slides under real clinic load, where long days and fatigue nudge

Stanza

I built Stanza to chase a frustrating question: when a resistance mutation kills a cancer drug, can you get to a redesigned molecule in minutes instead of years?

PaedScale

PaedScale — a starting pediatric dose from adult pharmacokinetics, with a cited rationale Most drugs are never trialed in children, so when a kid needs one that has no pediatric label, clinicians extrapolate the dose by

Oocytezero

OocyteZero asks a concrete question behind a disease that affects up to 1 in 8 women: can today's DNA-reading AI models name the single causal base at an unsolved PMOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) genetic locus?

healthscience

CREative

To understand how Alzheimer’s disease reshapes the brain’s regulatory landscape cell type by cell type, I used Claude Science to analyze Droplet Paired-Tag data from 10 donors across the hippocampus and cerebellum.

Anuj Dev Singh

I tested a specific, high-stakes question for disease genetics: can today's best sequence-to-function deep-learning models (AlphaGenome, Borzoi, and the DeepSEA/Basset lineage) predict the DIRECTION — up or down — of a n

Claudician

I built Clinical Digital Twin, an open-source R system (Shiny/plotly dashboard, plumber API, SQLite, and a Telegram bot powered by Claude) that gives clinicians in elder-care institutions a personalized, interpretable mo

OPUS-ET-AGENT

OPUS-ET-AGENT: agent-conducted cryo-electron tomography Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is the only technique that resolves macromolecules at near-molecular detail inside intact cells.

Repertoire2Structure (R2S) is a multi agent pipeline, orchestrated by Claude, that turns a raw 10x single cell TCR repertoire into QC'd predicted TCR to peptide MHC structures for its top clonotypes, with honest specific

Markus Sommer

Determining whether a cancer patient responds to immunotherapy, detecting contamination in food and water, measuring mitochondrial membrane potential: scientists depend on flow cytometry.

David Fraile Navarro

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are among the world's most prescribed — and in 2023 regulators opened suicide investigations after adverse-event databases lit up, even though the randomised trials showed no such risk.

Enactome

Enactome is a connectome-constrained simulation platform that loads the BANC Drosophila connectome (composed of 158,262 neurons, 3,990,039 synapses), signs each synapse by its presynaptic transmitter, and evaluates circu

NeuroVas Copilot

NeuroVas Copilot: An Interrogable 3D Aneurysm Reasoning Tool What we built Unruptured brain aneurysms present a difficult decision: treat now with clipping, coiling, or a flow diverter, or monitor and wait.
