# Cellular Digital Twins Are the Critical Path to Solving Disease by Alexander Wissner-Gross > "Digital twins of cells are the critical path to solving all disease. Over the next few years, just as large language models were trained on substantially all of humanity’s behavior on the internet through text and images, we will train digital twins of all the cells in our bodies on enormous interventional and observational datasets. We will then use those cellular twins to perform exhaustive AlphaGo-like searches of intervention space, beginning with a diseased cell state and looking for a creative strategy—a Move 37—that produces a healthy cell state." > **— Alexander Wissner-Gross**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* ## Sources and Context - **Recording or publication:** [MOONSHOTS Live at 49:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk7hdOwJj4&t=2979s) — The poster preserves the complete source object used in the research dossier; square brackets or ellipses, when present, are visible editorial repairs inherited from the reconciled source record. - **Reconciled source dossier:** [[research/Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live|Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live]] — preserves transcript order, speaker attribution, editorial conventions, and the surrounding argument from which this Reminder was promoted. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/Longevity Escape Velocity|Longevity Escape Velocity]] - **Article:** [[articles/Vertically Integrating an AI Superpower from AI Factory to Citizen|Vertically Integrating an AI Superpower]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Alexander Wissner-Gross|Alexander Wissner-Gross]] - [[wiki/Cellular Digital Twins|Cellular Digital Twins]] - [[wiki/AI-Driven Biology|AI-Driven Biology]] ## Share on Social Media ``` "Digital twins of cells are the critical path to solving all disease.
