AI-Guided Discovery of Novel Ionic Liquid Solvents for Industrial CO2 Capture

We present an AI-driven approach to discover compounds with optimal properties for CO2 capture from flue gas-refinery emissions' primary source. Focusing on ionic liquids (ILs) as alternatives to traditional amine-based solvents, we successfully identify new IL candidates with high working capacity, manageable viscosity, favorable regeneration energy, and viable synthetic routes. Our approach follows a five-stage pipeline. First, we generate IL candidates by pairing available cation and anion molecules, then predict temperature- and pressure-dependent CO2 solubility and viscosity using a GNN-based molecular property prediction model. Next, we convert solubility to working capacity and regeneration energy via Van't Hoff modeling, and then find the best set of candidates using Pareto optimization, before finally filtering those based on feasible synthesis routes. We identify 36 feasible candidates that could enable 5-10% OPEX savings and up to 10% CAPEX reductions through lower regeneration energy requirements and reduced corrosivity-offering a novel carbon-capture strategy for refineries moving forward.

CellxPert: Inference-Time MCMC Steering of a Multi-Omics Single-Cell Foundation Model for In-Silico Perturbation

In this work, we introduce CellxPert, a scalable multimodal foundation model that unifies single-cell and spatial multi-omics within a common representation space. CellxPert jointly encodes transcriptomic (scRNA-seq), chromatin-accessibility (ATAC-seq), and surface-proteomic (CITE-seq) measurements, while directly incorporating MERFISH and imaging mass-cytometry data as 2D or 3D spatial-visual layers. CellxPert facilitates four key downstream tasks out of the box: (i) cell-type annotation across a broad ontology of 154 largely overlapping identities -- the largest label space addressed to date and a stringent test of fine-grained discrimination, (ii) efficient fine-tuning using Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA), (iii) genome-wide transcriptomic response prediction to in-silico perturbations (ISP), and (iv) seamless multi-omic integration across various assays and platforms. Unlike current single-cell foundation models, which approximate gene perturbations by deleting or reordering tokenized gene expression ranks, CellxPert employs a Metropolis-Hastings sampler whose proposal kernel uses the model's masked conditional distributions to transition to new transcriptomic states conditioned on the perturbed genes. This Markov-chain procedure mitigates out-of-distribution artifacts introduced by abrupt token manipulation and produces trajectories that are biologically interpretable. Evaluations on PBMC68K, Replogle Perturb-seq, Systema, and BMMC benchmarks show that CellxPert surpasses classical and state-of-the-art baselines in cell-type annotation, perturbation response prediction, and multi-omic integration.
