Many scientists describe the ability to predict the impact of mutations and drugs on human cells as a "holy grail" in cell biology that could lead to breakthroughs in vaccines.
The advent of generative AI might allow researchers to make sense of vast amounts of biological data, akin to how chatbots interpret and generate language, unlocking insights into human cells.
While the concept of full-fledged AI-driven 'virtual cells' remains uncertain, biologists are already utilizing this technology to significantly enhance their understanding of cellular components and their interactions.
The shift in scientific exploration from explanation to prediction reflects a broader trend in research, where data-driven insights may lead to deeper and swifter discoveries.
