Description

There's been a lot of interesting progress recently in cellular modeling. In particular, I'm thinking of this paper that creates a deep learned cell simulator:

https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.4627

The code for the simulator is open sources as well:

https://github.com/idekerlab/DCell

I wonder if there's a way to support this form of modeling work through DeepChem. I suspect this would be a very nice complement to deep microscopy support.

Research direction

The issue links the Nature paper and the open-source DCell repository, and mentions DeepChem's deep microscopy support as related work. Start by reviewing those references and the existing deep microscopy support; the issue is complete only after a concrete, agreed scope for cellular-modeling support and its validation is defined.
