Fabian Theis
中文導讀
Fabian Theis(Helmholtz Munich)是 single-cell computational 的大組 PI,本 wiki 裡這條 deep-generative velocity 線(scVelo → veloVI → RegVelo)很多出自他組或受其影響。 RegVelo 的 senior author。他在 X 上把 RegVelo 框成「unify RNA velocity + GRNs → 更好的 OOD perturbation prediction」(見 velocity-discourse-2025-2026)——正好是 JianhuaXing 批評的對象。
Who
PI at Helmholtz Munich (Institute of Computational Biology) / TU Munich — one of the largest single-cell computational groups. Senior author of RegVelo and a central figure in the deep-generative velocity lineage (scVelo, veloVI, RegVelo).
In the velocity debate
- Announcement framing (X, 2026-05-12): RegVelo “unifies RNA velocity + GRNs → better OOD prediction of perturbations (gene KOs)” (velocity-discourse-2025-2026).
- The principal target of JianhuaXing’s critique that the scVelo→RegVelo line conflated a geometric latent-time with physical time (xing-hu-regvelo-debate, velocity-skepticism).
