Young Investigator, Open Language Models for Biology

Develop and evaluate a multimodal open language model that combines single-cell gene-expression data with biological text to answer questions in neurodegeneration and Alzheimer’s disease. Design controlled experiments and build representations at brain-region and donor levels, then assess performance on held-out donors. Collaborate with the project PI and Allen Institute domain scientists, and release code, data, and model weights for open-science research.
