"# BioVERSE: Representation Alignment of Biomedical Modalities to LLMs\n",
"\n",
"**Paper Title:** BioVERSE: Representation Alignment of Biomedical Modalities to LLMs for Multi-Modal Reasoning\n",
"\n",
"**Authors:** Ching-Huei Tsou, Michal Ozery-Flato, Ella Barkan, Diwakar Mahajan, Ben Shapira\n",
"\n",
"## Overview\n",
"\n",
"This notebook demonstrates the key computational workflows from the BioVERSE paper, which presents a two-stage approach to align biomedical foundation models (BioFMs) with large language models (LLMs) for multi-modal reasoning.\n",
"\n",
"**Key Concepts:**\n",
"- **Stage 1 (Alignment):** Train lightweight projection layers to map BioFM embeddings into LLM embedding space using either autoregressive (AR) or contrastive (CT) loss\n",
"- **Stage 2 (Instruction Tuning):** Fine-tune projection layer and LoRA adapters jointly to enable the LLM to use biological tokens in generative tasks\n",
"- **Modalities:** scRNA-seq (single-cell), proteins, small molecules\n",
"\n",
"**Resource Constraints:**\n",
"- This notebook uses small-scale synthetic data and minimal models to run within 5-10 minutes\n",
"- Full-scale experiments would require GPU resources and hours/days of training\n",

"## Part 10: Summary and Scaling Guidance\n",
"\n",
"### What This Notebook Demonstrated\n",
"\n",
"We've implemented the core workflows from the BioVERSE paper:\n",
"\n",
"1. **\u2713 Projection Layer Architecture** - Lightweight MLP for embedding alignment\n",
"2. **\u2713 Autoregressive Alignment** - Stage 1 training with AR loss\n",
"3. **\u2713 Contrastive Alignment** - Alternative Stage 1 with InfoNCE loss\n",
"4. **\u2713 Embedding Visualization** - UMAP showing alignment effectiveness\n",
"5. **\u2713 Zero-Shot Cell Annotation** - Evaluation on downstream task\n",
"6. **\u2713 Multi-Modal Integration** - Aligning cells, proteins, and molecules\n",
"\n",
"### Resource Constraints in This Notebook\n",
"\n",
"- **Small synthetic datasets** (500 cells, 200 proteins, 200 molecules)\n",
"- **Simplified encoders** (not full BioFMs)\n",
"- **No actual LLM** (simulated with embedding alignment)\n",
"- **Short training** (10 epochs vs. 30k-500k steps in paper)\n",
"\n",
"### How to Scale to Full Experiments\n",
"\n",
"To replicate the paper's full results, you would need:\n",
"\n",
"#### 1. **Computational Resources**\n",
"- **GPU:** A100 or V100 with 40-80GB VRAM\n",
"- **RAM:** 64-128GB for loading large datasets\n",
"- **Storage:** ~500GB for datasets (CellxGene, UniProtKB, LLASmol)\n",
"- **Time:** Hours to days for full training\n",
"\n",
"#### 2. **Real Foundation Models**\n",
"```python\n",
"# Instead of SimpleBioEncoder, use:\n",
"from transformers import AutoModel\n",
"\n",
"# scRNA-seq\n",
"scrna_encoder = AutoModel.from_pretrained(\"scgpt-foundation\")\n",
"\n",
"# Proteins \n",
"protein_encoder = AutoModel.from_pretrained(\"facebook/esm2_t33_650M_UR50D\")\n",
"\n",
"# Molecules\n",
"molecule_encoder = AutoModel.from_pretrained(\"seyonec/ChemBERTa-zinc-base-v1\")\n",
"\n",
"# LLM backbone\n",
"llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(\"ibm-granite/granite-8b-instruct\")\n",
"```\n",
"\n",
"#### 3. **Full Datasets**\n",
"```python\n",
"# scRNA-seq: CellxGene (1800+ datasets)\n",
"# Download from: https://cellxgene.cziscience.com/\n",
"\n",
"# Proteins: UniProtKB with GO annotations\n",
"# Download from: https://www.uniprot.org/\n",
"\n",
"# Molecules: LLASmol dataset\n",
"# Download from: https://github.com/OSU-NLP-Group/LLM4Chem\n",
"```\n",
"\n",
"#### 4. **Training Configuration**\n",
"```python\n",
"# Stage 1 (Alignment)\n",
"config_s1 = {\n",
" 'learning_rate': 1e-4,\n",
" 'batch_size': 128,\n",
" 'num_steps': 30000, # or 100k, 500k for longer training\n",
" 'warmup_steps': 1000,\n",
" 'weight_decay': 0.01,\n",
" 'optimizer': 'AdamW'\n",
"}\n",
"\n",
"# Stage 2 (Instruction Tuning with LoRA)\n",
"config_s2 = {\n",
" 'learning_rate': 5e-5,\n",
" 'batch_size': 64,\n",
" 'num_steps': 30000,\n",
" 'lora_rank': 16,\n",
" 'lora_alpha': 32,\n",
" 'lora_dropout': 0.1\n",
"}\n",
"```\n",
"\n",
"#### 5. **Evaluation Benchmarks**\n",
"```python\n",
"# Cell annotation: PBMC10K, scEval benchmarks\n",
"# Protein tasks: Mol-Instructions (4 tasks)\n",
"# Molecule tasks: Mol-Instructions molecule description\n",
"# Metrics: Accuracy, Macro-F1, LLM-as-judge, BERTScore, ROUGE-L\n",
"```\n",
"\n",
"### Key Insights from This Notebook\n",
"\n",
"1. **Alignment works**: Even with simplified models, we see clear separation \u2192 overlap in UMAP\n",
"2. **Contrastive is efficient**: CT loss converges faster than AR (no LLM forward pass needed)\n",
"3. **Modular design**: Each modality can be aligned independently and combined\n",
"4. **Zero-shot transfer**: Aligned embeddings enable classification without task-specific training\n",
"\n",
"### Next Steps for Researchers\n",
"\n",
"1. **Load pretrained BioFMs** on your GPU cluster\n",
"2. **Download full datasets** (CellxGene, UniProtKB, LLASmol)\n",
"3. **Train Stage 1** (30k-500k steps) with your modality of interest\n",
"4. **Add Stage 2** with LoRA for instruction tuning\n",
"5. **Evaluate** on standardized benchmarks (Mol-Instructions, scEval)\n",
"6. **Extend** to new modalities or tasks\n",
"\n",
