CS Professor to Lead AI Innovation in $11M ARPA-H Vaccine Research Initiative

Stony Brook University’s Department of Computer Science (CS) is taking a leading role in revolutionizing vaccine development through artificial intelligence (AI), as Professor Haibin Ling joins an $11 million research initiative by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).

The project, known as SPHERICAL (Scientific Platform for High Efficacy Antigen Design via Robust Integration of Computational Experiments, AI, and Protein Modeling), aims to transform how vaccines are developed by creating an innovative AI-driven platform for antigen design.

“This collaboration represents a unique opportunity to apply cutting-edge AI techniques to one of healthcare’s most critical challenges,” says Ling, who will lead Stony Brook’s contribution to the project. “By developing innovative deep learning solutions, we’re working to make vaccine development more efficient and effective, potentially saving countless lives.”
