Generative biology, which uses AI to design molecules and biological functions, is transitioning from research to clinical application. Companies like Generate Biomedicines and Insilico Medicine are leveraging AI to create therapeutic proteins and small molecule drugs, with several AI-designed medicines now in human trials. This approach promises to accelerate drug discovery, enable the tackling of previously untreatable diseases, and potentially make drug development more programmatic and scalable, though challenges remain in ensuring these AI-generated treatments are effective and safe in humans.
