Deliver machine-readable hierarchical maps of cell architecture as AI-Ready data from multimodal interrogation of disease-relevant cell lines to enable transformative biomedical AI research. CM4AI produces integrated cell maps from spatial proteomics, protein-protein interactions, and genetic perturbations using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry, cell imaging, and CRISPR technologies.
| purpose-001 |
Address the grand challenge of interpretable genotype-phenotype learning in genomics and precision medicine. Machine learning models are often black boxes predicting phenotypes from genotypes without understanding the mechanisms. CM4AI enables visible machine learning systems informed by multi-scale cell and tissue architecture, allowing AI tools to interrogate how protein assemblies in the cell affect cell-level phenotype predictions.
| purpose-002 |
Establish standards, best practices, and guidelines for ethical AI-readiness in biomedical data. This includes implementing FAIR principles, computing machine-readable provenance graphs, characterizing and validating all datasets with JSON-Schema mini-data-dictionaries, and mapping data elements to public ontology vocabularies where appropriate.
| purpose-003 |
Enable development of visible neural networks (VNNs) and visible machine learning tools that use hierarchical cell maps as interpretable structures for AI model architectures, allowing interrogation of how protein assemblies affect cell-level phenotypes and interpretation of genetic variants and mutations.
