Dive into tumor biology with our latest study! together with Marco Breinig Artem Lomakin we've cracked the code on how complex genetic changes reshape tumor cells & surroundings. 🧬🐭🔬 Check out the thread to learn about our #CHOCOLAT_G2P adventure! 🍫🚀

Dreaming of leading your own research group in computational biology & bioinformatics? We’re recruiting two research group leaders, in particular working at the interface of AI and biology. We especially encourage women to apply as they’re under-represented on our faculty.

Weekend read: We are discussing the future of AI in cancer research in Cancer Cell sciencedirect.com/science/articl… ... with Moritz Gerstung James Zou Marzyeh Diego Chowell Jonas Teuwen Faisal Mahmood 🤩 Nationales Centrum für Tumorerkrankungen Dresden @nct_hd DKFZ Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg TU Dresden

How much does your medical history reveal about your future? As a team effort of Moritz Gerstung and Ewan Birney's labs, we present Delphi-2M, a transformer for modelling future health based on past medical history. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

New preprint: A modified GPT architecture to model the course of health and more than 1000 diseases throughout life. Delphi-2M estimates the risk of almost any disease, samples health trajectories and offers insights into the temporal dependencies of co-morbidities. More below.

If you’re German speaking and want to learn how AI is being used for cancer research, consider this podcast by Deutschlandfunk to which I contributed. There are many opportunities but also some hurdles to overcome. deutschlandfunk.de/ki-krebs-mediz…

We’re excited to share our latest work with Paige on (vision) foundation models of pathology. In this study, we introduce Virchow2 and Virchow2G, significantly increasing the scale of our previous work both in terms of data and parameters, with Virchow 2G reaching 1.85B
