Building experimental data together for cell AI ↗
Can a model learn intervention–response relationships and predict responses in unmeasured cellular conditions?
The Virtual Biology Initiative expands joint experimental-data infrastructure. Separately, Arc’s 2026 challenge tests response prediction without providing perturbation outcomes in the target cells.
- Shared infrastructure expandedRecorded
- Add perturbation dataUnverified
- Evaluate unseen conditionsUnverified
Record investment in shared experimental data separately from evaluation in unseen conditions.
Added cells and interventions, independently evaluated predictive performance, and data-release and reuse conditions.
