AI in Action: Solving biology puzzles

Abstract

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, has become an important tool in many fields, including biology. Its main purpose is not to replace scientists but to help them with more accurate and faster ways to analyze data and solve problems. This comic uses fun visuals and conversations to introduce myself, my lab, and the exciting work we do. It shows how AI is used to solve big challenges in biology, like understanding DNA, predicting how proteins work, and creating better treatments for patients. By explaining these ideas in a simple way, the comic shows how AI and scientists can work together to make amazing discoveries and improve our understanding of life.
