AutoScientists automatically produces model cards, experimental logs, failed hypotheses, dead-end registries, and research reports. The goal is not only to discover better models, but also to document how they were discovered.

🌍 Excited to open up our global evaluation of AI for drug decision-making and therapeutic reasoning @GaoShanghua Want to shape the future of therapeutic AI, from understanding existing medicines to developing new treatments for diseases with limited options? Start here: txagentevals.curebench.ai How you can participate: 1️⃣ Evaluate TxAgent Test-drive TxAgent, our AI built for therapeutic reasoning across all drugs since 1939, powered by a universal toolbox of 200+ tools. Assess its reasoning on accuracy, clinical relevance, drug safety, and more, each evaluation takes ~10 minutes. Learn about TxAgent: zitniklab.hms.harvard.edu/Tx… and github.com/mims-harvard/TxAg… 2️⃣ Challenge the AI Submit your toughest therapeutic questions: rare diseases, unmet patient needs, or how to safely extend existing treatments, including combination therapies and personalized treatments. Help build an open library of challenges and shape smarter biomedical AI @GaoShanghua @ZKong50693 @RichardYXZhu @xiaorui_su @CurtGinder Sufian Aldogom Thanks to our many partners: @HarvardDBMI @harvardmed @Harvard @KempnerInst @harvard_data @MIT @broadinstitute @BrighamWomens @MilkenInstitute @BiswasFamilyFdn @cziscience

📢 AI-enabled drug discovery reaches clinical milestone rdcu.be/eugUu Few AI-designed drug candidates have gone beyond in silico benchmarks. Now, a study in @NatureMedicine @biogerontology reports a successful phase 2a trial of rentosertib, an AI-discovered drug and target combination for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis What distinguishes this study (in addition to clinical data) is the upstream innovation pipeline This trial marks a turning point: it affirms a potential for AI to do more than generate molecules faster and cheaper; guide discovery, de-risk development and potentially reshape how we develop medicines A pertinent question is: why did this AI-generated drug candidate advance to clinical testing when so many others have not? 🎯 Cross-disease target discovery and 'time-machine' setup: AI models trained on past data predicted therapeutic targets years ahead of traditional methods, pinpointing TNIK as a promising target 🔬 Robust biological validation: Integrated multi-omic analyses, network biology, and extensive literature mining rapidly validated TNIK’s biological relevance for fibrosis ⚙️ Chemistry design: Generative AI models designed molecules targeting novel binding sites, prioritized drug-likeness and synthetic feasibility, and proactively optimized pharmacokinetics and potency from early stages @biogerontology @InSilicoMeds @HarvardDBMI @Harvard @harvardmed @harvard_data @KempnerInst @broadinstitute

📢 🧬 New preprint! Can we predict which cancer patients will benefit, before treatment begins? @WanXiang_Shen Immunotherapy saves lives but many patients don’t respond to treatment, and we still lack reliable tools to predict who will benefit We introduce COMPASS, foundation AI model for immunotherapy response prediction across cancers and treatments medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… immuno-compass.com github.com/mims-harvard/COMP… @HarvardDBMI @harvardmed @KempnerInst @harvard_data @broadinstitute @Harvard Thanks to incredible team @WanXiang_Shen Thinh H.
