So much fun to kick off a week in Boston as a mentor and sponsor at HackMIT! It’s been 10 years since I participated in HackMIT. For context, the exciting new technology that year was the Google Cardboard 🙂📦 It’s amazing to see how far the the tools have come since then and all the incredible things hackers are building with them. Today’s college students are learning to leverage LLMs (and more) from day one. I think these next few graduating classes will have a tremendous impact on software development and technology. Those of us in industry have a lot to learn from them. Congrats to everyone who competed, I’m looking forward to seeing what you all build next!

We’re excited to share highlights from the 2024 Nucleate Alumni Summit, and we want to thank our sponsors, speakers, and 490 attendees from 14 countries for making it a success! 🌍 Held from August 27-29, 2024, in the California Redwoods at 1440 Multiversity, the summit brought together a global community to network, share ideas, and build connections for the future of biotech. This event offerd just a glimpse of the dedication and hard work of our student leaders from 41 global chapters, whose daily efforts in building and sustaining a vibrant biotech community have made this celebration truly meaningful. What made the Nucleate Summit so special is that it was completely organized by trainees and volunteers. This effort resulted in 15 Tree Talks covering topics such as “Addressing Unmet Needs with Technology”, “From Seed to Series and Beyond”, and “Women Leading Life Sciences,” 9 keynote speakers sharing their insights, and 237 educational grants awarded to students and trainees, all supported by 24 sponsors who helped make it possible. We’d like to give a special thanks to the leadership team who volunteered their time to pull off this Summit: Shruti Sridhar, Amit Halkhoree, Onkar Date, Chloe Kirk, PhD, Venkat Shashank Vege, Vanessa Alvarez, Ankita Lakhar, Claire Johnson, Jiashi (Cathy) Sun, MBA, Hannah Kittrell, Jake Kastroll, Nelly Tian, Pari B., Julia Nanyi Zhao, PhD, Hannah Dayton, PhD, Lindsey Florek, Ph.D., Isabella A., Priscilla Del Valle, Angela L., Jesse Lee, Zach Cogan, Heer Joisher, Isabella Cardona Barber, Caroline Steingard, PhD, Oliver Dodd, Jei Diwakar Another massive thank you to our generous summit sponsors for believing in our vision and empowering the students in our community: Browne Consulting, AbbVie, Mediso Medical Imaging Systems, Carta, Bakar Labs, Alloy Therapeutics, Inc., Civilization Ventures, Amazon Web Services (AWS), MantleBio, Brex, JLABS, University of California, Santa Cruz Innovation Hub, Chicago Biomedical Consortium, Bayer Co.Lab, SynBioBeta (We will continue the list of HQ and travel grant sponsors in the comment section).

It was an absolute joy to speak at Y Combinator's Startup School on a topic so close to my heart. How can we close the gap between software and science? Thank you YC for hosting a fantastic event, and thank you to all the inspiring builders, researchers, and entrepreneurs who traveled to SF to attend!

MantleBio (YC S23) helps scientists transform data into discoveries. Today, Mantle is announcing the public launch of its modern data engineering platform, which is now available for free to the scientific community. Advancing biology is critical for helping patients and the planet. However, while many industries are accelerating due to breakthrough computer science and ML, biology is lagging behind. Why? General-purpose software, built for sales and enterprise data, can't handle biology's complex metadata and specialized formats. Founded by Emily Damato and Madeline Schade, Mantle bridges this gap with a data engineering platform built for biotech. With Mantle, scientists can find and analyze their data of every scale, type, and format in one place. Teams can bring their own code, strengthening collaboration between bench and computational scientists. Mantle integrates with standard life science data sources (ELNs, instruments, public databases, CROs, etc) to streamline critical research from start to finish.
