AlphaGenome: Illuminating DNA’s Dark Matter with Artificial Intelligence
Google DeepMind’s AlphaGenome is tackling the 98% of human DNA that has long puzzled scientists. By decoding non-coding regions, this breakthrough AI could transform how we understand genetic diseases and advance precision medicine.

From Molecule to Mock Human: Programmable Virtual Humans in Drug Discovery
Drug discovery often struggles with a critical problem: many compounds that look promising in the lab fail once they reach human trials. This “translation gap” slows progress, increases costs, and leaves many potential treatments behind.

AI Agents: From Chatbots to Research Partners
AI is evolving from chatbots into autonomous agents that can plan, reason, and act on their own. In science and healthcare, these systems could become true collaborators—accelerating discoveries, reducing costs, and reshaping research as we know it.
