MIT’s IRIS model uses AI to reconstruct cells’ signaling histories
MIT’s IRIS model uses AI to reconstruct cells’ signaling histories. Researchers at MIT and the Whitehead Institute reported IRIS, a neural-network model that infers active cell-signaling pathways from gene-activity patterns.
Event / data period: 2026-09-08
Published: · Updated:
Trained on data from human embryonic stem cells, the model was also tested on differentiating cells in mouse embryos. The work focuses on inferring biological signaling histories from gene expression; mouse experiments do not establish human clinical validation.
