Predicting Single-Cell Perturbation Responses for Unseen Drugs
Offered By: Valence Labs via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive conference talk on predicting single-cell perturbation responses for unseen drugs. Delve into the world of single-cell transcriptomics and its role in studying cellular heterogeneity. Learn about the challenges of scaling high-throughput screens and the importance of transferring information from bulk RNA-seq data. Discover a new encoder-decoder architecture and transfer learning scheme designed to improve generalization performance and reduce the need for extensive single-cell screens. Gain insights into the potential of this method for generating in-silico hypotheses and accelerating targeted drug discovery. Follow along as the speakers discuss cellular underpinnings of health and disease, single-cell genomics, perturbation modeling objectives, and the introduction of chemCPA. Explore datasets, transfer learning strategies, and experiments benchmarking molecule encoders. Conclude with an examination of chemCPA for unseen drugs and participate in a Q&A session.
