Moritz Schaefer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Immunology and Rheumatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI build AI systems that can be asked a question about biomedical data in plain language and show their work well enough to be checked. CellWhisperer (Nature Biotechnology, 2025) links a million RNA-sequencing profiles to the text describing them, so single-cell data can be explored by asking rather than coding. SpatialWhisperer (ICML 2026) carries this into histopathology. I pair these models with AI agents reasoning across imaging, genomics and the clinic to explain why CAR T therapy fails.
