It was an honor to give a whiteboard lightning talk at the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. 0:00-12:48 https://lnkd.in/eKnQVEqe

Excited to share that I recently gave a talk on Large Language Models (#LLMs) and biological foundation models at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard! It was an incredible opportunity to dive deep into LLMs and foundation models and discuss their applications in biology. You can watch the talk here: 📹 YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eHcxvjuQ 🌐 Web: https://lnkd.in/etW4Wk6J The talk was part of the Models, Inference & Algorithms (MIA) seminar series at the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center. Following the primer about LLMs and biological foundation models, my advisor David van Dijk presented our labs work on the CINEMA-OT and Cell2Sentence projects. Huge thanks to Pinar Demetci for hosting us!

Crunch Lab is relentless in its mission to solve some of the most complex predictive challenges. After three months of deep work in Causal AI for the ADIA Lab, we’re ready for our next purpose-driven mission. Autoimmune diseases affect 50 million people in the U.S. alone. With Machine Learning algorithms like Computer Vision, multimodal and generative AI, we can fundamentally transform healthcare, save lives, and push humanity forward. At Crunch, we’re taking a bold step. Partnering with the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center and The Klarman Cell Observatory at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, we’re committed to making an impact. This Crunch takes on ambitious goals, with 7,000 brilliant data scientists and over 600 PhDs from the Crunch community working with a groundbreaking dataset: millions of cell images, Xenium spatial transcriptomics (from 10x Genomics), and cell RNA sequencing. Their mission: to predict gene expression and identify markers in precancerous regions, bringing us closer to a future where we can stop these diseases before they start. Three months. 7,000 thinkers (counting) and another chance for collective intelligence to make an impact in the world. If you have experience with data and ML technics join us!

On Monday, November 4, please join us for two key events featuring Mona Singh, Professor of Computer Science, Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University, and Princeton postdocs and Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center postdoctoral fellows. Panel Discussion: Princeton postdocs and Schmidt Center postdoctoral fellows on “Foundation Models in Genomics” (2:45-3:30 pm) Key topics include: - Defining foundation models and their impact on genomics. - Benchmarking insights and challenges from recent studies. - Architectural innovations tailored for biological applications. Colloquium Talk: Mona Singh on "Protein Language Models: Their Power, Limitations, and Future Directions." (4:00-5:00 pm, refreshments at 3:30 pm) Find the abstract and register on our website: https://lnkd.in/eW8wnhbX The event will be held at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Yellowstone as well as virtually via YouTube Livestream: broad.io/ewsc. If you do not have a Broad badge, please show up at the 415 Main Street entrance 10 minutes early with an ID to sign in with security and to be escorted to the talk. This colloquium is part of an ongoing series jointly hosted by the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center and MIT EECS. It features speakers sharing how their work is driving novel insights into the most pressing biomedical questions of our time and how biomedical questions are spurring foundational advances in machine learning. #SchmidtCenter #BroadInstitute #MonaSingh #Princeton #Genomics #PBI #ComputationalMolecularBiology #FoundationModels #Genomics #ProteinLanguageModels #MachineLearning #ML #Algorithms #MLinBiology #MIT #EECS #ScienceNews #ScientificResearch
