Presentation Title: Generative AI for Unlocking the Complexity of Cells
Speaker Name: Maria Brbic
Title/affiliation: Assistant Professor
Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne (EPFL)
Learning objectives:
- Introduce generative AI methods designed to uncover and model the complex relationships between different molecular layers (omics) in biology.
- Demonstrate specific applications, such as digitally reassembling tissues from single cells and linking cellular morphology to gene expression data.
- Conclude with a methodology for building effective multi-modal AI models even when paired training data is scarce
