OpenIO: An open framework for AI-native immunotherapy.

New AI framework for immunotherapy design aims to replace trial-and-error approaches with principled computational engineering of cancer treatments.

Published in Cancer Cell, OpenIO introduces an open computational framework that leverages generative AI foundation models and omics data to rationally engineer immunotherapy interventions, aiming to move from trial-and-error cancer immunotherapy to principled AI-driven design. The framework, developed by a large consortium spanning Fudan, SJTU, Westlake, NYU, MIT, and Princeton, represents a significant conceptual advance in AI-oncology integration.
