AI Discovered a Novel Drug Target; and Pharma Bought It
Genentech validated the first AI-discovered neuroscience drug target from its $12B Recursion partnership. A proof point the AI-drug discovery field needed.
AI Redesigned CRISPR's Molecular Scissors, and They Beat Nature's
Jennifer Doudna's lab used an AI protein-design model to build a synthetic gene-editing enzyme, SynTnpB, that edits human cells nearly twice as efficiently as the natural version. Here is what the Science paper actually shows, and what it does not.
