Lab of AI for Biology

Learning the Rules of Life via Artificial Intelligence.

We build AI systems that make biology computationally predictable across scales.

From cells to systems, from genes to behavior, our goal is to create reliable models that understand and forecast multi-scale biological dynamics, enabling in silico experiments that guide and accelerate discovery.

We are actively hiring graduate students and postdocs. Learn more
