US, Google, Meta team up to build 'virtual cells' for digital biology
Original: US, Google, Meta join forces to build ‘virtual cells’ for digital biology experiments
The US government, Google and Meta are joining forces to develop 'virtual cells' — digital models of biological cells that could let researchers run experiments computationally instead of in the lab. The collaboration aims to accelerate drug discovery and biological research, and is drawing attention for pairing big tech's AI resources with public-sector science goals.
Why now: The unusual partnership between the US government and two tech giants on AI-driven biology is new and consequential for medical research.
