GenBio launches AIDO Cell, a virtual cell AI model
GenBio AI, co-founded by Nobel laureate David Baker, unveiled AIDO Cell, a world model simulating human cells across biological hierarchies.
GenBio AI, a Palo Alto-based startup with co-founders including Nobel laureate David Baker and AI scientist Eric Xing, has introduced AIDO Cell. The company calls it the first system capable of simulating a human cell in both its natural state and in response to drugs and other interventions, across the full biological hierarchy from DNA and RNA through protein to the whole-cell level.
David Baker acknowledged the limits of the model, saying, 'What’s exciting here isn’t that we’ve solved cellular biology – we haven’t, at least not yet.' The launch is an early step toward a broader 'virtual cell' that could accelerate biomedical research and drug discovery.
