Science Technology

Our science technology team accelerates the pace of biomedical research by building models, methods, tools, applications, and datasets for scientists. Our technology-driven approach helps researchers come to meaningful conclusions about human health and disease.

Virtual Cells

We’re leveraging AI to build virtual cells that are capable of predicting the behavior of healthy and diseased cells, which will have broad applications for biomedical research, disease diagnosis and therapeutic development. We believe this effort will deepen our understanding of human biology at a molecular level — bringing scientists closer to curing, preventing or managing all diseases by the end of this century.
