CP-Agent: Context-Aware Multimodal Reasoning for Cellular Morphological Profiling under Chemical Perturbations
The article introduces CP-Agent, a multimodal large language model designed for cellular morphological profiling under chemical perturbations. This model enhances drug discovery by providing interpretable rationales for cell morphological changes, leveraging a context-aware alignment module. CP-Agent aims to streamline the drug screening process by integrating high-content imaging with experimental metadata.
- ▪CP-Agent combines high-content imaging and experimental metadata to improve drug discovery.
- ▪The model achieves a maximum F1-score of 0.896 for treatment and mechanism-of-action discrimination.
- ▪CP-Agent generates structured reports to assist in experimental design and hypothesis refinement.
