Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform cancer research. But AI is only as powerful as the data behind it.

The Cancer Research Institute's Discovery Engine is building a new foundation for cancer immunotherapy research, bringing together high-quality biological data, cutting-edge technologies, and scientific expertise to accelerate discovery.

Featuring insights from CRI CEO Dr. Alicia Zhou, Stanford immunologist Dr. Ansuman Satpathy, University of Pennsylvania immunologist Dr. E. John Wherry, and 10x Genomics co-founder and CEO Serge Saxonov, this film explores how advances in single-cell and spatial biology are making it possible to study the immune system in unprecedented detail.

By creating comprehensive, AI-ready datasets, CRI's Discovery Engine aims to help researchers ask better questions, uncover new insights, and accelerate the development of more effective cancer treatments.

Presented at CRI's 2026 Annual Awards Gala, this film explores an ambitious new chapter in cancer immunotherapy research, built for scientists and designed to accelerate discoveries that benefit patients.
