Cell Representation

Cell representation research focuses on developing effective computational methods to capture the complex characteristics of individual cells from diverse data sources, such as microscopy images and single-cell genomics. Current efforts concentrate on leveraging graph neural networks, variational autoencoders, and other deep learning architectures to learn robust and interpretable cell representations, often incorporating spatial and temporal information or integrating multiple data modalities. These advancements are crucial for improving the accuracy and efficiency of downstream tasks in various fields, including cancer diagnosis, drug discovery, and developmental biology, by enabling more precise analysis of cellular heterogeneity and dynamics.
