3D Cell Model: "The closest thing in science to magic" NVIDIA Blog

Researchers at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, a Seattle research group founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, have created the first predictive 3D model of a live human cell. Using the model, scientists can digitally visualize and even manipulate cell behavior on a computer screen. Called the Allen Integrated Cell, the model is the result of deep learning training with tens of thousands of high-quality cell images. It's able to identify subcellular structures and project a 3D, multilayered image of a cell that shows how all its components interact simultaneously -- something that has never been visualized in this way before. "To me, it's the closest thing I've ever seen in science to magic," said Rick Horwitz, Executive Director of the Allen Institute for Cell Science.
