Episode notes
AI-Generated Hypothesis Validated In Cells
- Google's C2S Scale 27B generated a novel, testable cancer hypothesis and researchers validated it in living cells.
- This shows scaled science-specific models can run high-throughput virtual screens and reveal context-conditioned biology.
Dual-Context Virtual Screening Unlocks Conditional Drugs
- Researchers used a dual-context virtual screen to simulate 4,000 drugs across immune and isolated cell contexts.
- The model predicted conditional amplifiers that boost immune signals only under specific biological conditions.
Model Finds Largely Novel Drug Candidates
- Only 10–30% of the model's highlighted drug candidates had prior literature links, indicating many novel leads.
- The model synthesized known facts into a new, testable mechanism for turning tumors 'hot.'
