Inclusion@SCI: a new platform to embrace diversity
Our school has a rich history of attracting a diverse range of international students and faculty, creating a unique blend of cultures and perspectives. This cultural diversity is not only part of our culture but also a key strength in our academic and research excellence. We see it as an opportunity to build a more dynamic and creative academic environment where everyone’s contributions are valued. With that in mind, we are excited to announce the launch of new web pages designed to create a more inclusive and informative platform for our community: Inclusion@SCI Read Sandra Di Rocco's blog post | | | KTH Innovation Award 2024 goes to Professor Mats DanielssonMats Danielsson, who has developed groundbreaking medical technology enabling early detection of tumors and faster treatment of inflammatory diseases, has been awarded the KTH Innovation Award 2024.

"Modelling a human cell is complex. It contains more than 20,000 genes and 6 billion protein molecules, all interacting dynamically in a microscopic space. Traditional mechanistic cell models can't capture this scale and complexity," says Wei Ouyang, head of the AICell Lab at KTH.
His lab aims to address this challenge by developing the Human Cell Simulator, a data-driven, generative AI model that could change the way we approach biology, drug discovery and personalized medicine.
AI and humans in focus
