Benchling bets lab automation can ground AI co-scientists in the physical world
2+ mon, 2+ week ago (185+ words) By Brian Buntz | May 28, 2026 A recent research survey from the Pistoia Alliance supports that thesis. The nonprofit organization found that only 1% of life science professionals report AI having value in the wet lab. While more than half (54%) of respondents said…...
For AI co-scientists to scale, scientists have to trust them. The architectural bets to earn it vary.
2+ mon, 2+ week ago (694+ words) By Brian Buntz | May 26, 2026 The data thus far shows genAI models more broadly gaining ground faster with document analysis than they are as a bench sidekick. The Pistoia Alliance’s spring 2026 survey of 300 industry leaders found that 54% see AI delivering value…...
Stanford bioengineers compress protein engineering cycle to 24 hours
2+ mon, 3+ week ago (184+ words) R&D World In a practical test, MIDAS allowed researchers to evaluate 384 protein variants with roughly four hours of hands-on lab work and about $2,000 in reagents. By comparison, traditional cloning-based approaches would require an experienced researcher to spend approximately 192 hours…...
