Early drug discovery has no shortage of genomic data, but confidence remains scarce. This report examines how CRISPR, functional genomics and human-relevant models are being applied to determine which signals matter, how they influence disease biology and which targets and strategies are worth pursuing.
Australian start-up OmnigeniQ has demonstrated what it describes as the first deterministic, physics-based computation of a human protein in its native state.
A biotech CEO with decades of scientific experience but sporadic coding practice gained practical bioinformatics capabilities in six weeks using AI coding assistants.

LabGenius Therapeutics will present preclinical data for LGTX-101, its AI-designed Nectin-4 x CD3 T-cell engager, at AACR 2026 in San Diego.
ELRIG has announced the keynote speakers for its 2026 Advances in Cell-based Screening conference in Gothenburg, where scientists will gather to explore how human-first models, advanced cell biology and AI are changing the future of drug discovery.
Why do some targeted assays move smoothly from discovery to clinical practice while others stall? The answer often lies in the earliest design decisions, where choices about samples, platforms and data determine what is possible later.
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a light-powered method to modify complex drug molecules without toxic chemicals, enabling faster, cleaner and more efficient drug development.
Scientists have discovered that specialised immune cells in the eye help keep its drainage system clear and regulate pressure, which could inform new treatments for glaucoma.
Scientists have developed a machine learning system that can predict how complex chemical reactions will produce the correct molecular form for medicines.
Automation and artificial intelligence are changing how scientists design, test and refine new molecules. At the University of Toronto, Stuart R Green and the Acceleration Consortium are building a self-driving lab that could change the pace of early drug discovery.
For International Women’s Day, Dr Amanda Hemmerich, Global Director of Digital Pathology & Innovation at IQVIA Laboratories, describes how digital pathology is being applied in early drug development and what it takes to build credibility in a multidisciplinary technical field.
Insilico Medicine and Liquid AI have partnered to develop a lightweight artificial intelligence foundation model designed to support multiple stages of drug discovery.
Most labs want to use AI, but few have the digital foundations to support it. Cenevo’s leaders explain why progress is slow and what laboratories must fix before AI can deliver real value.
Drug discovery has no shortage of powerful technologies, but the challenge now is making them work together. At SLAS Boston 2026, researchers and technology developers revealed how laboratories are connecting the entire experimental pipeline.
Immunotherapies such as CAR-T are extending survival, yet reliance on inpatient monitoring for cytokine release syndrome continues to restrict access. This article explores how continuous digital monitoring and AI-driven analysis could enable safer outpatient delivery and support more scalable immunotherapy adoption.
Lukas Gaats and his team at mo:re are using automation to bring consistency to 3D cell culture and move drug discovery beyond animal models. Read on to find out how.
