Cellcomm.org is an open discussion of collective intelligence and artificial intelligence in science.

 

The current focus is a dialogue that is designed to advance human collective intelligence applied to a complex biomedical challenge, the development of digital models of cells and organisms.

 

​Ideas and suggestions showing different aspects and benefits of the continuing advance of open science have been obtained from several hundred scientists, historians and economists. These ideas originate from surveys, interviews, a roundtable, smaller meetings and historical research. 

​

Among previous contributors are:

Harold Varmus, former Director of the NIH and Nobel Prize winner.
Charles F. Kennel, former Associate Administrator of NASA, Director of Mission to Planet Earth and of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
