Co-Scientist
Tool ● Covered in 7 stories + Follow
Co-Scientist is an AI tool used by biomedical researchers to scan scientific literature and experimental results in order to generate testable hypotheses and prioritize genetic or molecular targets. Across recent coverage, it has been used for applications ranging from identifying genetic factors related to reverse cellular aging, narrowing infectious-disease mechanisms, and proposing links in liver disease, to generating hypotheses in ALS and accelerating drug repurposing by selecting existing medicines for testing.
