The ADIA Lab Symposium opens in Abu Dhabi on Monday, October 26. @dasongle will be delivering a keynote on day two.
@adia_lab is an independent research institute working in data and computational sciences, and this is its flagship event. Le's talk is AIDO Cell: A General-Purpose Simulator for Cell Biology.
Replying to @dasongle
@dasongle is a featured panelist on the opening panel at Molecules, Models & Agents in San Francisco on Monday, October 5.
From Data to Discovery: AI Across Digital Health and Digital Biology, moderated by @dr_alphalyrae of @NVIDIA NVentures, with Michael Aratow of @EllipsisHealth and @kavi_deniz of @tamarindbio. #SFTechWeek
Out today in @cellpressnews: "A world model of the virtual cell," from our co-founders @ericxing and @dasongle.
Their definition of a virtual cell is a stateful, multi-modal, multi-scale simulator, judged on whether it stays coherent across a sequence of interventions.
Open access: cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
A model that makes one prediction and resets only captures a snapshot. AIDO Cell holds the cell's state: perturb it, read it out, then further experiment on the cell you just changed.
@DrugDiscovNews on where the virtual cell came from, what's left to prove and how world models are redefining cellular simulation: drugdiscoverynews.com/what-i…
GenBio AI researchers' new Perspective paper in @NatureMedicine lays out a blueprint for a simulator of biology: the AI-Driven Digital Organism (AIDO), a system of integrated multiscale foundation models spanning every scale, from molecules to cells to individuals.
Not siloed predictors but a connected, hierarchical system: central-dogma sequence FMs, 2D positional encodings, and differentiable computation graphs propagating information bidirectionally across scales. The endpoint is a world model of biology: condition on a state, apply an intervention, roll out counterfactual trajectories.

Today at 12 pm in #ICML2026 Hall B2: @dasongle’s will present a novel architecture for a virtual cell world model - one that enables simulated cells as an end-to-end platform: from actionable biological prompts to anticipated outcomes at all levels (molecular, structural, interactional, and morphological) in a fully aligned, integrative, multi-modal, and multi-scale fashion.

Monday July 6, 6:30 PM, Hall B2 Le’s panel will break down foundation models and agentic systems for closed-loop discovery.
Saturday, July 11, from 8:00 AM, Room 317 Le co-organizes the 3rd Workshop on Multimodal Foundation Models for Life Sciences. Come find the team at #ICML2026
Months of research compressed into days. That's the promise of virtual cell world models. GenBio AI Co-founder & CTO @dasongle breaks down how we're building them and what it means for drug discovery. Full piece by @jennschenker in @theinnovator here: x.genbio.ai/EI7RMW
🧬 Excited to announce our collaboration with @NVIDIA to accelerate virtual-cell world models!
Our agentic system VCHarness autonomously builds, tests, and refines AI models of human cells, discovering novel architectures in days, not months.
Together, we're shortening the path to drug discovery. 🔬 👉 genbio.ai/advancing-agentic-…
An excellent piece in @Nature on the promise and challenges of virtual cells, including insights from GenBio AI's @ericxing and @Prof_Lundberg on why multi-scale, multimodal approaches are the future, and why world models are key to building them. Learn more → x.genbio.ai/dTHCHh
