The Virtual Biology Initiative seeks to train artificial intelligence models that can predict how human cells behave and forecast drug development timelines. Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs are among the participants joining the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health in the effort.Why it mattersThe collaboration leverages public and private resources to tackle complex biological data generation.
