How to build the virtual cell with artificial intelligence: Priorities and opportunities Advances in AI and omics enable the creation of AI virtual cells (AIVCs)—multi-scale, multimodal neural network models that simulate molecules, cells, and tissues across diverse states. This vision outlines their design and collaborative development, promising to transform biological research through high-fidelity simulations, accelerating discoveries, and fostering interdisciplinary open science collaborations.

Very excited to see our perspective on Building the AI Virtual Cell published today in Cell! 🏗️🔮⭐️ www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Does your model understand genes? A benchmark of gene properties for biological and text models The application of deep learning methods, particularly foundation models, in biological research has surged in recent years. These models can be text-based or trained on underlying biological data, es...

overview of results for PLAID!

1/🧬 Excited to share PLAID, our new approach for co-generating sequence and all-atom protein structures by sampling from the latent space of ESMFold. This requires only sequences during training, which unlocks more data and annotations:

Model Scale vs. Performance curves for ESM C models, with comparisons to ESM2 and other protein LMs. ESMC performs better than existing state of the art for the same model parameter scale.

Introducing ESM Cambrian, a new family of protein language models, focused on creating representations of the underlying biology of proteins.
