Exactly what I had been claiming for some time, 💯@demishassabis : Drug discovery could shrink from 10 years to months, weeks, or even days. Most experiments may happen in simulations before human validation. Personalized medicines tailored to individuals could become possible. Demis believes AI could bring all diseases within reach of treatment.




"If you are keen to learn new stuff, you can come here and learn the most important things about the domain itself, on the job…" Kuba Perlin, ML Staff Research Engineer, shares his insights into Iso's unique approach and explains why a formal science background isn't essential.

This is great to see. The scientific community & the general public should be in the habit of celebrating amazing scientific achievements with standing ovations 🎉

Following breakthrough results, we’re bringing longevity medicine to human trials. We’ve raised a $435M Series C led by @foundersfund to make it happen. Reprogramming cell age has the potential to create more healthy years for everyone. We're closer than ever to realizing it.




In the latest episode of @theneurondaily Podcast, @_rebecca_paul and @m_schaarschmidt discuss how we're bringing together machine learning and medicinal chemistry to tackle the messy world of drug discovery. They discuss the excitement of seeing our Iso drug design engine (IsoDDE) accelerate our evolution from pioneering novel AI models to applying them at scale - delivering scientific breakthroughs with a precision previously thought impossible. Head to the comments to listen ➡️

Should AI design the drugs put into your body? Max Jaderberg is the President of Ismorphic Labs – an Alphabet company, spun out from the world-leading AI lab DeepMind, with the sole mission of using AI to revolutionise drug discovery. In a conversation at @sxswlndn, Jadergberg is joined by Avery Klemmer (Thrive Capital) and Michael de la Merced (New York Times) to discuss drug discovery at digital speed. Join @sxswlndn in Shoreditch from 1–6 June 2026. sxswlondon.com/passes

Huge news today at Isomorphic Labs! We have secured $2.1 Billion investment to advance the most important mission that AI can unlock: to change the way we can improve human health and create new medicines for patients around the world. This funding milestone was built on the strength of our AI drug design engine (IsoDDE), which has already proven its worth (aside from smashing benchmarks) by designing breakthrough new molecules and creating new scientific breakthroughs across our drug discovery programs. Our IsoDDE is giving us a repeatable way to design new medicines for a wide range of diseases, building a future of medicine that we couldn’t unlock until now. A massive thank you to our incredible team across London, Boston and Lausanne, whose relentless work made this possible, and to our partners who share our ultimate vision. Now we have so much more to build together!

Reproducing all of Schmidhuber’s papers (1990-2025) using an AI coding assistant. Cool project by @yaroslavvb! It even reproduced the “World Models” paper by me and @SchmidhuberAI with a toy env, with a full VAE + RNN world model implementation. Project: github.com/cybertronai/sc…


Let's hang out in ICLR! Delicious food & progress in AI for science is best consumed with friends (both old and new!) 🇧🇷



A deeper question about AlphaFold: In what sense is even a scientific explanation at all? It’s not going to have some crazy unforeseen predictive power outside of protein folding, such as say, relativity had on Mercury’s precession. There's a couple of ways you can interpret this: 1. it's not an explanation at all, 2. it contains little explanations you can extract through interpretability (Magnus Carlsen appears to have changed his game after AlphaZero forensics were published), or 3. it's a genuinely new type of scientific object we don't have the verbs for yet.
