Accelerated Discovery of Cryoprotectant Cocktails via Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization

  • 结合高通量实验与多目标贝叶斯优化,自动寻找最优配方。
  • 实验次数减少,同时提升配方浓度与细胞存活率。
  • 适合冷冻保存研发者快速筛选理想保护剂组合。

设计用于玻璃化冷冻的冷冻保护剂(CPA)混合物极具挑战性,因配方需足够浓缩以抑制结冰,又必须低毒以维持细胞活力。这一权衡导致巨大的多目标设计空间,传统方法依赖专家直觉或大量实验,效率低下。本文提出一种数据高效的框架,结合高通量筛选与基于多目标贝叶斯优化的主动学习循环。从初始测得的配方集出发,训练概率代理模型预测浓度与细胞活力,并量化候选配方的不确定性。通过优先选择有望改善帕累托前沿的实验,最大化预期帕累托改进,动态更新模型。湿实验验证表明,该方法能高效发现兼具高浓度与高存活率的配方。相比朴素策略和强基线,其占优超体积分别提升9.5%和4.5%,且所需实验次数更少。在合成研究中,仅需先前最优方法30%的评估次数即可获得相当水平的帕累托最优解,相当于节省约10周实验时间。该框架仅需合适检测方法与定义明确的配方空间,可适配不同CPA库、目标定义与细胞系,加速冷冻保存研发。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Designing cryoprotectant agent (CPA) cocktails for vitrification is challenging because formulations must be concentrated enough to suppress ice formation yet non-toxic enough to preserve cell viability. This tradeoff creates a large, multi-objective design space in which traditional discovery is slow, often relying on expert intuition or exhaustive experimentation. We present a data-efficient framework that accelerates CPA cocktail design by combining high-throughput screening with an active-learning loop based on multi-objective Bayesian optimization. From an initial set of measured cocktails, we train probabilistic surrogate models to predict concentration and viability and quantify uncertainty across candidate formulations. We then iteratively select the next experiments by prioritizing cocktails expected to improve the Pareto front, maximizing expected Pareto improvement under uncertainty, and update the models as new assay results are collected. Wet-lab validation shows that our approach efficiently discovers cocktails that simultaneously achieve high CPA concentrations and high post-exposure viability. Relative to a naive strategy and a strong baseline, our method improves dominated hypervolume by 9.5\% and 4.5\%, respectively, while reducing the number of experiments needed to reach high-quality solutions. In complementary synthetic studies, it recovers a comparably strong set of Pareto-optimal solutions using only 30\% of the evaluations required by the prior state-of-the-art multi-objective approach, which amounts to saving approximately 10 weeks of experimental time. Because the framework assumes only a suitable assay and defined formulation space, it can be adapted to different CPA libraries, objective definitions, and cell lines to accelerate cryopreservation development.
