- Genentech scientist Will Thrift proposed a partnership with San Francisco State University’s PINC program to develop a course focused on protein artificial intelligence (AI).
- “CSC 511: Protein Modeling with Deep Learning” is a collaborative effort, teaching SFSU undergraduates about deep machine learning in protein systems.
- The class aims to not just teach specific skills, but foster an innovative mindset towards the fast-evolving field of deep learning.
- The course complements the broader PINC program offerings, aimed at making coding accessible for life science undergraduates.
- PINC’s collaboration with Genentech highlights the need for rapidly adapting curriculum to match industry advancements and expectations.
