Evo 2 AlphaFold3 Cancer Classifier
Chaining Evo 2 and AlphaFold3 to classify cancer variants, this talk details a pipeline producing tiered therapeutic guidance validated with 3D protein-drug interactions.
I built a variant-to-therapy guidance system by chaining Evo 2 (40B genomic foundation model) with AlphaFold3 for structural validation. The pipeline takes a cancer mutation as input and outputs a tiered therapeutic recommendation with mechanistic rationale, multi-modal biological scoring, and 3D protein-drug interaction validation.
The technical demo will walk through:
- How I fine-tuned Evo 2 embeddings for multi-class variant classification (essentiality, functionality, chromatin, regulatory impact)
- My custom scoring layer that converts sequence likelihoods into actionable therapeutic guidance
- The AlphaFold3 integration that validates every guide/drug-target pair at atomic resolution
- Live code walkthrough of the inference pipeline: VCF → Evo 2 → scoring → AlphaFold3 → JSON output
I’ll show the actual Python code, the model architecture, and walk through a real BRCA1 ovarian cancer case where the system correctly identified synthetic lethality despite low essentiality scores.

- Evo2Evo2 is a 7-billion parameter genomic foundation model trained on 800 billion tokens to predict and design DNA, RNA, and protein sequences at single-nucleotide resolution.Developed by the Arc Institute, Evo2 leverages a StripedHyena architecture to process biological sequences across massive scales (up to 1-megabase contexts). It outperforms previous models by treating the genome as a unified language, enabling zero-shot prediction of mutation effects and the generative design of complex regulatory elements. By training on the 800-billion-token OpenGenome dataset, Evo2 captures multi-scale biological structures from molecular folding to whole-genome organization.
- AlphaFold3Google DeepMind’s latest model predicts the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules with unprecedented accuracy.AlphaFold3 moves beyond proteins to model DNA, RNA, and ligands in a single unified system. By utilizing a diffusion-based architecture, it predicts complex molecular interactions (such as a drug molecule binding to a specific protein receptor) with a 50% improvement over existing specialized tools. This capability allows researchers at institutions like the Francis Crick Institute to accelerate drug discovery and genomic research by visualizing how biological machinery functions at the atomic level.
