CorSilico integrates the Virtual Heart, DiscoveryOS, in vivo perturbation, spatial readouts, beating human cardiac tissue and intact-heart validation.

CorSilico: the complete system

Human cardiac data, evidence-ranked hypotheses and staged experimental validation form one learning loop.

Stage 1 of 4

The Virtual Heart

More than 2.5 million human cardiac cells and nuclei are integrated with spatial transcriptomics, epigenomics, human genetics, pathology, imaging and outcomes. The Virtual Heart resolves cell-state programs across cardiac and immune lineages, providing a human disease map from which therapeutic hypotheses can be nominated.

500–700candidate hypotheses
Stage 2 of 4

DiscoveryOS

A coordinating scientific AI system integrates specialist analyses across genetics, spatial biology, regulatory genomics, causal networks, safety, druggability, modality and clinical evidence. Independent challenge steps test competing explanations. Evidence and uncertainty are retained in a target-evidence graph, and experimental outcomes inform subsequent prioritization.

In Vivo Perturbation & Spatial Readout

Pooled in vivo perturbations compare candidate mechanisms efficiently. Single-cell and spatial readouts examine which cellular states respond, where the response occurs and whether protective programs are preserved. This sequence narrows a broader experimental set to the few mechanisms that merit deeper functional investigation.

Stage 4 of 4

Human & Animal Disease Modeling

Beating human cardiac rings provide a human-relevant functional tier between molecular screening and intact-heart experiments. The strongest hypotheses advance to focused mouse myocardial-infarction studies with serial echocardiography, scar-architecture histology, spatial readouts and safety endpoints. Positive and negative results return to the engine as comparable causal evidence.

The Virtual Heart

A human cardiac reference

Integrate single-cell and single-nucleus data with spatial transcriptomics, epigenomics, genetics, pathology, imaging and outcomes. Cell-state programs are examined across cohorts and disease contexts to separate replicated biology from dataset-specific signals.

DiscoveryOS

An evidence system for target decisions

Specialist analyses connect cell-state relevance, human genetics, regulatory programs, causal networks, selectivity, safety and therapeutic tractability. Challenge-and-rank steps preserve the evidence and uncertainty behind each hypothesis, while measured outcomes inform subsequent prioritization.

In Vivo Perturbation & Spatial Readout

Causality in tissue context

Pooled in vivo perturbation reduces a broader set of candidates to the mechanisms that change the intended biology. Spatial readouts then examine the affected cellular neighborhoods and protective programs, concentrating further functional work on the most informative hypotheses.

Human & Animal Disease Modeling

From cell state to cardiac function

Human cardiac rings provide a functional tissue tier. Focused mouse myocardial-infarction studies connect candidate mechanisms with serial echocardiography, scar architecture, histology and structural safety. These complementary models return a causal record to the discovery engine.

Every result returns to the engine.

Positive and negative outcomes become evidence for the next decision—connecting cell state, intervention, tissue response and cardiac function.

Human-relevant validation

From a cellular prediction
to a functional question.

The human cardiac tissue tier is designed to ask whether a molecular change translates into a functional tissue response.

The scientific horizon

Toward a
Virtual Heart.

A representation of the heart that connects cellular mechanisms to tissue behavior and organ function.

As human data and experimental outcomes accumulate, we are building the foundation for a cardiac-specific model of disease and response to intervention.

The long-term objective is a vertical cardiac foundation model. Today’s engine creates discovery evidence while we build toward that future capability.
