Agents for Drug Discovery: From Target to Molecule
Drug discovery is the highest-value application of agentic omics. Agents can orchestrate the entire pipeline from target identification through lead optimization, dramatically compressing timelines.
Long-form, evidence-backed writing on agentic AI — newest first.
Drug discovery is the highest-value application of agentic omics. Agents can orchestrate the entire pipeline from target identification through lead optimization, dramatically compressing timelines.
A practical guide to building agentic systems for omics research. What tools do agents need? How do you handle the unique challenges of biological data? What does a reference architecture look like?
The central thesis of this series: Agentic Omics combines LLM reasoning with domain-specific biological AI models to create autonomous systems capable of end-to-end biological discovery.
Agentic AI is not just LLMs answering questions — it's AI systems that autonomously plan, reason, use tools, and execute multi-step scientific workflows. This post defines the paradigm and surveys its emergence in …
Single-cell technologies now measure multiple omics layers simultaneously in individual cells. AI models for single-cell multi-omics are enabling unprecedented resolution in understanding cellular heterogeneity, …
Why does society pay software engineers three times what computational biologists earn? A deep dive into the economics, market failures, and a broken academic system.
Phenomics bridges the molecular and the visible—using high-throughput imaging, clinical phenotypes, and electronic health records to connect genotype to phenotype. AI is central to this effort.
How deep learning and transformer models are transforming metagenomics, from assembly and taxonomic classification to predicting microbiome-disease associations and antibiotic resistance.
Metabolomics is the least 'language-model-ready' omics field, yet deep learning is transforming metabolite identification, pathway analysis, and biomarker discovery.
Protein AI is the most mature omics AI field. But structure prediction was just the beginning—the frontier is now protein design, function prediction, and interaction modeling.
