Research Thrusts
AI4BIO will develop multiscale AI modeling frameworks for a cohesive understanding of genomes, cells, and tissues at different scales. This new paradigm is expected to illuminate fundamental aspects of gene regulation, cellular differentiation, tissue development, and disease progression. Model development will be enhanced by iterative AI/ML-guided experimentation, catalyzing unprecedented exploration into biological complexity with more intelligent and efficient experimental designs.
AI4BIO resources will be used to:
- Galvanize CMU faculty and foster new team-based research to tackle grand challenges.
- Recruit new talents and cultivate new research directions.
- Leverage our existing strengths, rooted in the Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Department’s extensive track record of innovation in AI for biomedicine, extending across departmental boundaries to further broaden CMU’s footprint in AI for biomedicine.
