Vietnamese-founded Drylab bags US$3M to put autonomous AI scientists inside pharma labs

What happened

Vietnamese-founded Drylab bags US$3M to put autonomous AI scientists inside pharma labs, according to e27. The cost of sequencing a human genome fell from about US$95 million in 2001 to about US$500 by 2022, according to the US National Human Genome Research Institute. Biology became a data business almost overnight.

The ability to make sense of that data did not keep pace. Most laboratories now generate more sequencing, imaging and […] The post Vietnamese-founded Drylab bags US$3M to put autonomous AI scientists inside pharma labs appeared first on e27 .

Most laboratories now generate more sequencing, imaging and assay data than their staff can analyse. The work runs through thousands of specialised bioinformatics tools (software that turns raw biological data into something a scientist can interpret), patchy computing setups and a chronic shortage of people who can operate both.
