GenBio AI co-founders Eric Xing and Le Song published "A world model of the virtual cell" in Cell.
- Core definition: a virtual cell is a stateful, multi-modal, multi-scale simulator
- Evaluation criterion: whether the model stays coherent across a sequence of interventions
- The open-access paper covers fundamental issues in definition, model architecture, computational algorithm, and meaningful evaluation of a fully steerable virtual cell
A notable attempt to turn cell digital modeling into a rigorous, evaluable framework in AI for Science.
