A Biological Singularity

Visualisation of a complex biological process

For decades, the high-throughput era of biology has generated data faster than it can be interpreted. Advances in artificial intelligence and engineering biology make it possible not only to collate this data and decode the rules of biology, but to create a model that designs and conducts its own experiments—a biological singularity.

We are a mission-driven team of
biologists and computer scientists
dedicated to accelerating this singularity.

Drawing on world-class talent from across The University of Edinburgh, the Learning Model of Life is an inter-disciplinary initiative to develop an autonomously-learning computational model of life.
