AICell Lab — Building AI Systems for Human Cell Modeling and Simulation
January 19, 2024 @ 10:00 – 11:00 CET
NBIS, Scilifelab’s Bioinformatics platform, arranges an open AI and IO Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and Integrative Omics (AI & IO) analysis and applications in the Life Science community. The seminar series is open to everyone. The seminar is run over Zoom on the third Friday of the month during academic terms, typically between 10 and 11 am, with ca. 45 min long presentation and 15 min discussion.

AICell Lab — Building AI Systems for Human Cell Modeling and Simulation
Wei Ouyang, DDLS fellow, Royal Institute of Technology, KTH
The AICell Lab is a newly founded group by the Data-Driven Life Science fellows program at the department of applied physics at KTH. The lab is dedicated to building artificial intelligence (AI) systems for cell and molecular biology, with the ultimate goal of modeling the human cell and building human cell simulators using powerful AI models. The lab’s approach to this grand challenge involves not only innovations in data analysis and modeling, but also in data generation, specifically the creation of an automated imaging farm equipped with multiple microscopes, robotic arms, liquid handling robots, and automatic incubators. The lab’s AI software infrastructure enables real-time augmentation of microscopy views, generating artificial labels and annotations, and optimizing experimental conditions to capture rare events in live cells. The long-term goal of the AICell Lab is to create large-scale whole human cell models trained on existing multi-omics datasets and new data generated by the imaging farm, which have the potential to revolutionize in-silico cell experimentation and drug discovery while contributing to a holistic and systematic understanding of the human cell.
