Reproducible pipeline that ranks Human Accelerated Regions (the DNA that made us human) by where, when, and how much they may shape the developing brain, and whether the same regions carry neurodevelopmental disease risk.

Computer vision for freezer boxes: reads a 10x10 cryobox from a single photo using OpenCV and Claude's vision API, and exports a JSON map of every grid position (A1-J10) with whatever label text, cap colour or description it can make out — instead of 20 minutes of digging for one tube. Later folded into Benchmate as the step that reads freezer boxes during protocol design.

A free, open-source AI "labmate" that supports all four stages of the scientific process. It pulls PubMed evidence and Geneformer perturbation predictions, generates and ranks hypotheses through a seven-agent system inspired by DeepMind's Co-scientist, designs wet-lab protocols — including reading freezer boxes with CryoVision — and analyzes raw results to propose sharper follow-ups. Live with a bring-your-own API key.
