At the core of medicine, pharmacy, public health, longevity, agriculture and environment is biology. Biology in the physical world is too complex to manipulate and always expensive and risky to tamper with. 

Eric P. Xing, president of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University and co-founder and chief scientist at GenBio AI, presents a vision of using AI to model and simulate biology and life. He will lay out a viable approach for constructing an AI-Driven Digital Organism (AIDO) and introduce early results, including models for DNA, RNA, protein, structure and single-cell and their abilities to tackle biological problems including diseases and drug responses. He envisions AIDO opening a safe, affordable and high-throughput alternative platform for predicting, simulating and programming biology at all levels, from molecules to cells to individuals, triggering a new wave of better-guided wet-lab experimentation and better informed first-principle reasoning, which can eventually help better decode and improve life. 

This session is open to the public. RSVP required here.
