1/3 Excited to share our latest preprint: TissueCraftAI! 🚀
It's the FIRST 1B-parameter spatial omics model built on ControlNet & Stable Diffusion. 🧬🤖
Moving beyond CNNs, it enables query-driven prediction of molecular maps directly from histology.

Chill out at annual lab outing on a nice cool September day. We had much of the state park to ourselves now the summer crowd is pretty much gone.
