Insights
Research notes, technical papers and perspectives.
Insights is Noviota’s working publication space — research notes, technical explanations, project updates and longer essays arising from our work in infectious disease, immunology, computational biology and biological engineering.
The objective is not to maintain a high-volume corporate blog. We publish when a piece of work, method or argument is worth making available, and we favour material that can remain useful beyond the week in which it appears. Topics fall broadly into Research Notes, Technical, Perspectives and Projects.
Nipah Virus at the Neuroimmune Interface
Nipah virus is usually framed as a high-fatality zoonotic threat. Its neurological heterogeneity raises a deeper question: how do viral pathogenesis, host immunity and neuroinflammation interact to determine who develops…
Read →Beyond Spike: What GSK’s Two-Antigen Flu Vaccine Tells Us About Programmable Vaccine Design
GSK's mRNA flu vaccine is advancing to Phase III - and it targets both haemagglutinin and neuraminidase, not HA alone. We look at what that design choice reveals about the…
Read →When a Genome Model Produces a Working Virus
AI-designed bacteriophages offer an intriguing glimpse of the transition from predicting biology to designing it.
Read →Biological Representation Is Not a Data-Formatting Problem
Making biological information machine-readable is not the same as representing biology. As computation moves towards reasoning and design, what we preserve about mechanism, context, evidence and provenance becomes increasingly important.
Read →Why We Are Building Sybil
Sybil is an experimental domain-specific language through which Noviota is exploring how biological systems might be represented in forms that remain readable to scientists while becoming increasingly useful to computation.
