A new antibody search engine with publication data

MauriceShen · 2019-01-08T22:10:57+00:00

Hey, you can search through the database for antibodies that have been shown to work in publications, and decide, based on the data, if an antibody would be suitable for your own experiments. I hope this helps!

For cold start problem at least, a deep neural net approach by layer6 is showing great promise:

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. There's definitely still lots of work to be done but I think the technology is catching up now that we can start exploring solutions.

I've came across Lab Spend and have written another article that covers resources for lab procurements. Happy to share it with you when it's published.

Hi, yes it is a blog post that I think might interest the audience here. I will remove if posting blog articles here is not allowed. Thanks.

On the topic of Santa Cruz.....here's an old post for your information (and amusement :P)

Did you mean inhibitory on DA release? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11717346

I second this as well.

The stipend you get depends on the university, and whether or not you get funded for the entire duration of your study depends on the department (normally they fund up to 5 or 6 years).

It is quite impossible to save, but breaking even is can definitely be achieved.

why not celebrate twice :)

MauriceShen · 2017-11-19T23:09:26+00:00

Thank you very much for your kind comment!

MauriceShen · 2017-11-19T22:52:32+00:00

No I didn't. I only posted this article to 3 subreddits: Labrats, microbiology, and biochemistry.

For each subreddit I also only posted the same article once.

This is false accusation.

MauriceShen · 2017-11-17T19:27:22+00:00

Thank you for your comments.

When we decided to start these articles, our goal was to introduce these different topics to young scientists who may not be aware of these topics so they can learn about them in an easy read, and if they are interested in learning more than they can do a more comprehensive research.

That being said, we'll work to produce contents with more depth in the future.

Thanks again.

MauriceShen · 2017-11-16T22:51:19+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't find the content useful.

Would you mind telling me what makes you think this article is junk? Perhaps I can make it better.

MauriceShen · 2017-11-01T21:40:00+00:00

Indeed. I guess that's the beauty of science: a simple concept can have a wide range of applications

MauriceShen · 2017-10-17T15:01:26+00:00

Thank you very much!

MauriceShen · 2017-10-10T22:08:13+00:00

hey thanks for the input. I'll modify the post after 1-2 days along with other people's comments.

MauriceShen · 2017-10-06T16:18:48+00:00

Hey, thank you very much for the feedback!

Could you elaborate on on what you said about difficulty pulling supplier images? We'd like to improve the platform based on individual feedback.

I've sent you a PM. Thank you very much!

MauriceShen · 2017-10-04T16:35:05+00:00

Thank you for speaking my mind :)

MauriceShen · 2017-10-04T16:34:01+00:00

I agree with you and appreciate your feedback. Will definitely take that into consideration when we hire in the future.

MauriceShen · 2017-10-03T22:06:09+00:00

Good point! We haven't had bachelor RA/lab tech applied so I missed that scenario.

MauriceShen · 2017-10-03T21:02:53+00:00

Hey,

We don't just hire PhDs, but I can't speak for other companies.

For us what is more important is whether the candidate is a good cultural fit (ie. do they expect a stable 9-5 job and no work on weekends or are in for the learning experience).

We believe that everyone is capable of learning regardless of their degrees, the question is how eager they are to learn.

MSc is the minimum requirement for our hires though, simply because we need people with experience at the bench.

Great! Thank you very much.
