Researchers from Fudan University and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have introduced "Life Operators," a novel framework designed to unify the modeling of biological systems across multiple scales. Instead of creating larger, monolithic AI models, this approach breaks down life processes into fundamental, combinable units: perception operators (interpreting external observations), evolution operators (predicting future states and intervention outcomes), and generation operators (producing observable results from a given state). A key innovation is the "Scale Bridge," which facilitates communication between models operating at different biological levels, from cells to organs, enabling more integrated and efficient simulations. This framework, supported by six publications in Nature journals, aims to move beyond simulating individual components to creating a comprehensive, evidence-driven, and self-evolving system for biological and medical research.
