Biohub and partners to invest $1.8bn in biological data
What happened
On 6 November 2026, Latent Space reported that Fabian Theis of Helmholtz Munich gave his views on AI modelling of virtual cells, arguing that with existing datasets perturbation prediction is not enough to support complex algorithms, and that the real challenge worth tackling is multi-scale, multimodal modelling of biological data from molecules and cells up to tissues and organs. The report did not mention any specific progress on Biohub and partners investing $1.8bn in biological data, nor did it cover the project's funding, participants or timeline.
