US, Google and Meta team up to build virtual cells
Original: US, Google, Meta join forces to build ‘virtual cells’ for digital biology experiments
Google and Meta are joining a US-led effort to build 'virtual cells' — computer models that simulate biological cells so experiments can be run digitally instead of in the lab. The initiative aims to speed up drug discovery and biological research by letting scientists test hypotheses on simulated cells. The involvement of major AI companies signals a growing push to apply machine learning to fundamental biology.
Why now: The unlikely collaboration between rival tech giants on AI-driven biology is a notable and unusual development.
