By providing holistic information on a cell, an AI-driven method could help scientists better understand disease mechanisms and plan experiments.

Caroline Uhler is Andrew (1956) and Erna Viterbi Professor of Engineering; Professor of EECS and in IDSS; and Director of the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, where she is also a core institute and scientific leadership team member. Next year, she’ll deliver a sectional lecture to the International Congress of Mathematicians at their annual congress in Philadelphia, a high honor.

A new approach for testing multiple treatment combinations at once could help scientists develop drugs for cancer or genetic disorders.

Trained with a joint understanding of protein and cell behavior, the model could help with diagnosing disease and developing new drugs.

A new method for detecting gene-expression patterns linked to lineage progression, providing a powerful tool for studying cell state memory across biological systems.
