ISB has won a 2025 AWS Imagine Grant to advance Tarpon, a generative AI platform that generates digital fingerprints of T cell receptors. By linking immune signatures to genomic and clinical data, Tarpon enables rapid discovery and the design of targeted therapies.
At a recent virtual town hall, leaders of the Pacific Northwest RECOVER hub shared what they’ve learned so far about long COVID — from symptom trajectories and genetic risk to early trial results and upcoming studies — and answered questions from participants about risk factors, persistent symptoms and what comes next.
Dr. Temple Grandin was the featured guest of the latest ISB-Town Hall Seattle Science Series. Grandin discussed her new book – “The Outdoor Scientist: The Wonder of Observing the Natural World” – and a variety of other topics. Following her talk, she joined ISB President Dr. Jim Heath for a wide ranging Q&A discussion.
