Multimodal AI
Across Scales

Trustworthy AI methods and open tools that bridge biological scales — from molecules to cells, tissues, and populations. A Research Programme at Human Technopole‘s Computational Biology Research Centre.

What we do

Modern biology generates data at every scale — molecules, cells, tissues, patients. We build the AI methods that make sense of all of it together, and the open tools that put those methods in the hands of working scientists.

Bridge the scales

Multimodal latent representations that connect microscopy, omics, and health records — so molecular features can be read alongside cellular phenotypes and clinical outcomes.

Know what we don’t know

Posterior models that return distributions of plausible answers, not single guesses — and calibrated uncertainty estimates scientists can actually act on.

Methods become tools

Research-grade methods are only useful when they’re installable, documented, and FAIR. We invest in research software engineering so our work reaches the bench.
