🇭🇺 Csapatunk is felöltötte ma a "csúnya" karácsonyi pulcsikat, hogy csatlakozzunk a Gyermekgyógyítók által szervezett inspiráló és fontos kezdeményezéshez.

A cél, hogy daganatos gyermekek gyógyulását segítsük, többek között hozzájárulva modern orvosi felszerelések beszerzéséhez.

Ti is hozzájárulhattok a munkájukhoz 500 Ft-tal, ha sms-ben elkülditek a 49-es kódot a 13600-as számra, és töltötök fel egy képet facebookra vagy instagramra a hashtaggel.

🇺🇸 Our team is finally wearing their "ugly" Christmas sweaters today, to help an inspirational event and a good cause organised by ChildCarers (Gyermekgyógyítók) Foundation.

The goal is for child cancer patients to heal under decent conditions by helping doctors and nurses receive modern medical equipment.

You can also send an SMS to their care-number 13600 to support their work with 500 HUF (send code "49") and upload a picture to facebook or instagram with the hashtag ( )

Wake up with Turbine @ JPM

We’re taking over a Bluestone Lane café during JPM and kicking off the morning Turbine-style. Join us for Wake Up with Turbine - a casual morning session with coffee and a Virtual Biology Q&A with Szabolcs Nagy, CEO & Co-founder, Daniel Veres, CSO & Co-founder and Louisa Roberts, CBO from 7-8 AM. After that, the space stays open until 11 AM, so drop by anytime to meet the team, grab a coffee, and check out the Virtual Lab Station in action.

Honestly, it might just be the best way to start your January 13 morning.

What happens when a scientist steps into the future of experimentation and becomes a VIRTUAL LAB SUPERUSER?

Meet Iván Fekete, Turbine Co-founder and translational biologist, using the Virtual Lab every single day to understand disease biology at a depth and speed that traditional workflows simply can’t match. Tune in on the debut episode of our Superuser series as he tackles a major question: How to combine ADC payloads to achieve synergy?

In under 5 minutes, you’ll see how the Virtual Lab empowers Iván to:
🔹simulate a myriad of virtual experiments in seconds
🔹reveal combination synergy and resistance patterns
🔹investigate the mechanisms driving cellular response on a single platform

No coding. No friction. Just intuitive in-silico experimentation that lets any scientist test all their ideas before wet lab validation. And beyond this episode, the Virtual Lab also helps researchers walk into the wet lab with sharper, more strategic plans - enhancing clinical translatability and supporting more rational decisions.

Iván uses it every day - and you could too, without needing an entire data-science team. Our virtual biology platform is a practical product already integrated into pharma R&D workflows.

Ready to become a superuser? 🚀

🤖We’re heading to AI for health Summit 2025, where our Co-founder & CEO, Szabolcs Nagy, will join the panel:

“Boosting Drug Discovery with Agents & Digital Twins”
November 26, 2025 | 12:15-12:45 PM

The session will bring together leading voices shaping the future of AI-powered drug discovery, including experts from Bioptimus, EY, EPFL, and Eli Lilly to explore how virtual cells and digital twins can transform pharma R&D.

At Turbine, we’re virtualizing biological experiments with AI to accelerate discovery and improve clinical translatability.

If you’re attending and want to explore collaboration opportunities or learn more about our approach, feel free to reach out to our team: Pier Giorgio, Luca Bárdió, and Szabolcs Nagy.

See you in Paris!🥐

So… what is a virtual cell?
In its ideal form, a virtual cell would be a complete, general simulation of biology - one that can accurately predict outcomes in entirely new contexts without retraining.

💡This is the dream. And it’s not something we have today and that’s perfectly okay.
Yet over the past year, virtual cells have become one of the most hyped topics in biotech and AI. And as with any hype cycle, the noise often makes it hard to see what the technology can really do today and what it can’t.

What we have today are narrow virtual cell models that can predict outcomes within a well-defined assay, where we have sufficient calibration data. These are already virtualizing many experiments with impressive accuracy (through what we call virtual assays).

At Turbine we already have a ready-to-use, practical product built on this principle, one that pharma teams are already integrating directly into their workflows.

and what they can't - because the bottleneck is not computing power

This week, we’re heading to the scverse Conference at Stanford University - right into the heart of the virtual cell conversation, with teams like Tahoe Therapeutics Arc Institute and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative in the room. As one of the few teams in the virtual biology space, with a practical and consumable product already integrated into pharma workflows, we’re bringing hands-on experience to the table. Our ready-to-use Virtual Lab is actively supporting drug discovery teams today and we’re excited to share what we’ve learned.

We’re also presenting a poster, and we’d love for you to stop by. Our poster examines why masking-based pretraining doesn’t enhance perturbation modeling - and the useful insight behind this outcome. Come see our poster at 4.15pm PDT and join the conversation with Bence Szalai Bence Czakó, PhD Richard Izrael, PhD.

Turbine is everywhere 👀

We’ve just landed in Vienna for BIO-Europe and in San Diego for World ADC - ready to get inspired, share ideas, and give back to the scientific community.

For over a decade, we’ve been building and refining a true virtual biology platform that pharma and biotech teams can integrate directly into their R&D workflows. This journey has made us the first company to bring virtual experiments from concept to real scientific practice & now, you can see it in action!

Come check out our Virtual Lab demo at Booth C198 (Vienna) or Booth 118 (San Diego).

Can’t make it this time? No worries, you can find all the details on our website: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0pnmF30
