Abstract
Recent advances in artificial intelligence and computational modeling are transforming how we study biology and disease. By integrating large-scale data, from genomes and single cells to tissues and patients, computer science now offers new ways to uncover the hidden rules that govern life.
This seminar will showcase some recent studies about how machine learning and systems modeling can decode complex biological processes, predict therapeutic responses, and guide the development of precision medicine. A key idea emerging from this work is the virtual cell: a data-driven model that simulates cellular behavior to bridge experiments and predictions in real time. Through this convergence of computation and biology, researchers are beginning to move from observing biological systems to computationally modeling their behavior, opening new paths toward understanding, and ultimately controlling, the mechanisms of health and disease.
