This moment is a chance to rebuild ANU into a democratic, accountable and thriving institution that has the trust and confidence of its community once again.
It must not be wasted.

Gene synthesis is often the most expensive part of protein engineering with generative models.
Happy to have played a small part in this work, where Chase developed a method for precision library construction at scale, with per-gene costs as low as $1.50.
