FLAG: Foundation model representation with Latent diffusion Alignment via Graph for spatial gene expression prediction

ICML 2026poster

Predicting spatial gene expression from routine H\&E makes high-resolution molecular profiling accessible at scale, especially for large retrospective cohorts. However, current models mostly treat gene expression as a series of pointwise tasks. While effective for numerical fitting, this approach ov…

ChromFound: Towards A Universal Foundation Model for Single-Cell Chromatin Accessibiltiy Data

NeurIPS 2025poster

The advent of single-cell Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (scATAC-seq) offers an innovative perspective for deciphering regulatory mechanisms by assembling a vast repository of single-cell chromatin accessibility data. While foundation models have achieved significant suc…

Empower Structure-Based Molecule Optimization with Gradient Guided Bayesian Flow Networks

ICML 2025poster

Structure-based molecule optimization (SBMO) aims to optimize molecules with both continuous coordinates and discrete types against protein targets. A promising direction is to exert gradient guidance on generative models given its remarkable success in images, but it is challenging to guide discret…

LangCell: Language-Cell Pre-training for Cell Identity Understanding

ICML 2024poster

Cell identity encompasses various semantic aspects of a cell, including cell type, pathway information, disease information, and more, which are essential for biologists to gain insights into its biological characteristics. Understanding cell identity from the transcriptomic data, such as annotating…
