20 years after iPSCs: can AI take us from #CellReprogramming to #DeNovoCellDesign? Since grad school, I’ve spent years searching for new reprogramming cocktails. The lesson: biology has two big challenges—#Scale and #Time. We can’t test or sequence everything. And cells are dynamic systems—we need to model how they change over time. In my recent talk, “When Cellular Reprogramming Meets AI,” I discuss how AI + live-cell measurement + perturbation could move us from observing cells → predicting trajectories → inverse-designing new cell states. 🎥 Full talk: vimeo.com/1211746570/1519f89…

VIP-OT introduces a new direction in building AI virtual cell. It couples high-dimensional, low-cost, nondestructive vibrational (chemical) imaging with optimal transport to infer single cell biochemical state dynamics and perturbation response trajectories and combinations.

The placenta is one of the most complex and fascinating, yet least studied, human organs. A wonderful collaboration with the amazing members of the Haider and Chen @insitubiology labs. #placenta #HCA #Hiring
The spatial single-cell multiomic atlas of the first trimester human #placenta at molecular resolution provides a blueprint for future studies on early #PlacentalDevelopment and #pregnancy. #HCA @insitubiology @JianShuLab @harvardmed nature.com/articles/s41591-0…
