Yale School of Medicine / Yale Cancer Center

Home of the Cell2Sentence single-cell language models built with Google, and an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centre.

David van Dijk's lab developed Cell2Sentence and C2S-Scale (with Google DeepMind/Research), which represent cells as text so general language models can reason about them; a C2S-Scale hypothesis about interferon sensitisation was validated in vitro in 2025.
