SATURNA - AI for RNA biology
Deciphering RNA structure, modification and function for therapeutic development
SATURNA is a research initiative dedicated to decoding the dynamic choreography of RNA, and to understanding how the process itself shapes disease states at cellular and molecular scales.
By combining AI innovation with RNA-focused, context-aware biology, SATURNA seeks to establish actionable principles of disease mechanisms, enabling new strategies to diagnose and treat complex human disorders.
SATURNA brings together expertise in artificial intelligence, computational RNA biology, molecular, cellular and clinical neuroscience. Within this framework, AI models are co-developed with domain experts to unlock concrete biological questions and accelerate their translation to clinic.
The Human-Centered Health AI Group contributes to the SATURNA project by advancing methods for knowledge injection into RNA sequence models, multi-modal models for RNA and language, and interpretability approaches.
