  • Effective models could unlock some of what is still unknown in biology and help your doctor find the right treatment.

Priscilla Chan, co-founder of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, envisions artificial intelligence (AI) models of cells as the next significant advancement in biology and medicine. In an interview with CNET, she discussed how AI could revolutionize our understanding of cellular functions, potentially leading to breakthroughs in treating diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and infectious diseases. The initiative aims to create a comprehensive digital model of human cells, which would allow scientists to simulate and predict how cells react under various conditions, thereby accelerating drug discovery and personalized medicine. Chan emphasized the importance of collaboration between technologists, biologists, and medical researchers to achieve these goals, highlighting the potential of AI to not only enhance our knowledge but also to make scientific research more inclusive and accessible globally.
