Abstract
Human organoids are three-dimensional organ-like cultures derived from human stem cells and tissues and can recapitulate key physiology of specific organs or tissues found in the human body, holding promising potential in studying organ development, disease modeling, drug screening, and regenerative medicine applications. For example, human brain organoids can recreate certain brain cell diversity and brain structure to mimic the development of embryonic brain tissues and inspire new artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Our group is dedicated to developing and integrating “Intelligent Organoid Systems” by leveraging innovative device design, sensor fusion, and AI-guided system integration to interface organoids for addressing the challenges in AI computing and precision medicine. In this talk, I will introduce the development of organoid computing and AI-powered organoid systems and showcase their translational applications in disease diagnosis, personalized therapy, and drug screening for translational oncology, neurology, and immunology. By building the intersection between organoids with AI, we hope to create innovative intelligent tools that are highly efficient, accurate, and convenient, ultimately revolutionizing medicine.
