Join D2R for this hybrid seminar with Professor Mo Lotfollahi from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the Cambridge School of AI in Medicine at the University of Cambridge about "Generative AI to Predict and Engineer Human Tissues and Cells". 

In this talk, Professor Lotfollahi will present his lab’s latest research on generative AI models designed to simulate cellular and tissue-level perturbations with unprecedented resolution. These models enable them to ask fundamental questions such as: Which interventions can revert a disease phenotype back to a healthy tissue state?Ìý²¹²Ô»åÌýWhat perturbations can reprogram cells from state A to state B? By learning causal structure from high-dimensional multi-omics and spatial data, their frameworks can propose actionable interventions, predict patient-specific responses to treatment, and identify the most promising therapeutic targets. Prof. Lotfollahi will highlight how these models support target discovery, guide experimental design, and accelerate the development of personalized and precision medicine. Overall, their work demonstrates how generative AI can transform our ability to understand, predict, and engineer complex biological systems.
