foundation-models

Today in AI for life science: genome foundation models learn to read and write DNA, an AI infers a spatial protein map from an ordinary pathology slide, and machine learning moves into 3D organoids — three layers of the virtual cell.

Today in AI for life science: RNA structure and design catch up to proteins, digital-pathology foundation models mature at the clinical edge, and a new paper from the lab paints the first proteome-wide image of human cells.

Today in AI for life science: protein design matures into a real engineering discipline, a genome-scale foundation model (Evo 2) meets a sobering benchmark, and AI-designed proteins raise a biosecurity question worth taking seriously.

Today in AI for life science: an AI system that autonomously discovers and validates a drug candidate, frontier labs buying into biology, a clear-eyed benchmark of cell-segmentation foundation models, and the case for composable multimodal models.
