Google DeepMind's Co-Scientist AI tool is accelerating biological research by identifying potential molecular switches for infectious diseases. Professor Clare Bryant is using Co-Scientist to rapidly generate and refine hypotheses about how pathogens like flu and sepsis jump from animals to humans. The AI has helped pinpoint specific proteins and amino acids, significantly speeding up the experimental process for Bryant's team, potentially reducing years of work to months. AI
