Affinage uses a two-pass LLM system to generate literature-derived mechanistic annotations for nearly the entire human proteome, outperforming UniProt on 99.1% of genes per an LLM judge.
Starling, a multi-agent LLM system, extracts ~6.3 million nuanced structured records from PubMed across six tasks with reported error rates of 0.6-7.7%, lower than several curated databases.
StructBioReasoner is a scalable multi-agent system that designs IDP-targeting biologics, with over 50% of 787 candidates for Der f 21 showing better binding free energy than human-designed references.
SAGE with MHFA improves failure recovery in autonomous research agents, raising metrics-bearing outputs from 42% to 92% on a 12-topic benchmark versus single-reflection baselines.
CodeDistiller distills 250 materials-science GitHub repositories into vetted code libraries that improve the accuracy and scientific soundness of experiments generated by ASD agents.
Proposes a three-tier data readiness framework (FAIR to AI-ready to space-ready) plus an international governance body to enable AI use of space biology data.
BioInsight is a multi-agent system that generates interactive, provenance-preserving biomedical evidence interfaces from disease names and protein data.
Agentic-J is a multi-agent AI assistant that converts natural language descriptions of biological image analysis tasks into executable, reproducible scripts for ImageJ/Fiji with specialised sub-agents for plugin management, code generation, debugging and reporting.
Vibe Medicine proposes directing AI agents via natural language for end-to-end biomedical workflows using LLMs, agent frameworks, and a curated collection of over 1,000 medical skills.
