Autonomous biomedical research with an artificial intelligence agent

Researchers present Biomni, a general-purpose biomedical AI agent capable of autonomously executing diverse research tasks across fragmented workflows that traditionally slow scientific discovery. The system, published in Science, maps and orchestrates multi-step biomedical research pipelines without continuous human supervision. While not specifically designed for oncology, the platform has broad applicability to cancer research including drug discovery, biomarker analysis, and literature synthesis.
