Towards the Virtual Cell with Steve Quake and Charlotte Bunne
“Eventually, my dream would be to simulate a virtual cell.”—Demis Hassabis
The aspiration to build the virtual cell is considered to be equivalent to a moonshot for digital biology. Recently, 42 leading life scientists published a paper in Cell on why this is so vital, and how it may ultimately be accomplished. This conversation is with 2 of the authors, Charlotte Bunn, now at EPFL and Steve Quake, a Professor at Stanford University, who heads up science at the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative
