Biology: AI & Biology

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) will invest $500 million to embed AI systems throughout every stage of the scientific process over the next decade. Take a look at HHMI's vision of AI-driven science.

"This article summarizes the potentials of AI and their application to several fields of biology, such as medicine, agriculture, and bio-based industry."

"UC San Diego researchers across several scientific disciplines are leveraging advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to push the boundaries of biological sciences."

"Wellcome Sanger Institute researchers are leveraging AI tools to predict, design, and engineer biological sequences, such as DNA and proteins."

"Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the structure of a protein determines what it can do ... protein structure has been studied for over half-a-century, culminating in the artificial intelligence tool AlphaFold, which can predict protein structure from a protein’s amino acid code."
