US, Google and Meta team up to build virtual cells
Original: US, Google, Meta join forces to build ‘virtual cells’ for digital biology experiments
The US government, Google and Meta are joining forces to develop 'virtual cells' — computer models that simulate biological cells digitally. The aim is to let researchers run biology experiments in silico, potentially speeding up drug discovery and basic research without lab work. The collaboration pairs big tech's AI and computing power with public-sector science goals.
Why now: The unusual pairing of government and rival tech giants on AI-driven biology is new and raises both scientific and competition questions
