A Norwegian Bio-AI Lab in the Arctic for Knowledge Discovery in Life Sciences

Through designing novel AI tools in close collaboration with globally prominent research partners, we enable scientists to decipher knowledge hidden in data gathered from living systems at all scales from cell to organism. 

We are building a Bio-AI ecosystem at the northernmost university in the world
