Biology operates across multiple scales, from molecules and genes to cells, genomes, and clinical data. Understanding all of it needs models that think across every level at once. We are seeing now exciting multi-scale models that can help us scientists with these tasks ⬇️

Today @arcinstitute releases State, our first perturbation prediction AI model and an important step towards our goal of a virtual cell State is designed to learn how to shift cells between states (e.g. “diseased” to “healthy”) using drugs, cytokines, or genetic perturbations

“Lo que dijo Kaiser sobre las vacunas es una burrada”, dice el doctor en biología Gabriel León. “Las vacunas no funcionan con metales pesados y no se fijan en el cuerpo. Esa frase tiene una intención, enturbia el ambiente con una declaración que está basada en mentiras”
