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 recruiting three postdoctoral fellows in AI for Biology, Computational Neuroscience & Multimodal AI, and Reinforcement Learning & Autonomous Labs.
