🚨🚨 AI in Bio release 🧬
Very happy to share my work on a Large Cell Model for Gene Network Inference. It is for now just a preprint and more is to come. We ask: “What can 50M cells tell us about gene networks?”❓
🌐🧬I am excited to present you a round table I am doing together with Matteo Marengo Gabriel Michaux as part of our emerging Nucleate Parisian chapter led by Clara Brouaux 🔥.

Title: **Inside AI: Choosing the Right Path to Value Creation**

I am presenting my PhD work today at the conference on immuno oncology in Toulouse's CRCT Oncopole!

Happy to talk about how we can use foundation models in the real world 🧬 🧑‍⚕️

In 2025, deciding to have a child without full genome sequencing of both parents is borderline reckless.

It costs under €400. Takes 2 minutes. Could save your child’s life.

Yet >200 million people live with rare genetic diseases—many preventable by this simple test.

scPRINT is now finally on the Chan Zuckerberg Institute's Model Hub! 🎉 🧬 🌈 It is one more way you can use this cell foundation model to embed, denoise, predict cell type, get gene networks from your data from scratch, or fine-tune it on your own application / usecase: virtualcellmodels.cz...
scPRINT | v1.0 | Virtual Cells Platform
scPRINT is a cell foundation model, also called a Large Cell Model (LCM), trained on single-cell RNA sequence (scRNAseq) data from more than 50M human and mouse cells available through CZ CELLxGENE. Based on the transformer architecture, the model is fully open source and reproducible, with multiple checkpoint sizes available from 2M to 100M parameters. scPRINT demonstrated high performance for genome-wide cell-specific gene network inference when benchmarked against state-of-the-art models (e.g., scGPT, Geneformer v2, GENIE3). In addition, scPRINT has various zero-shot capabilities, including cell embedding, cell label prediction (e.g., cell type, sex, disease), and gene expression imputation, highlighting its potential as a versatile tool for single-cell analysis.

I feel that arc browser and the browser company is really an example of how a founder can get brain-wormed by crazy investors up to the point of leaving the only value proposition of its project and go back to the masses of AI branded company with nothing to sell other than marketing. So sad..
