Co-Scientist

Calico Life Sciences researchers are using Google DeepMind's Co-Scientist AI tool to accelerate aging biology research. The tool helps scientists cut through low-quality literature to identify promising hypotheses. A concrete example involves using Co-Scientist to generate and refine a novel hypothesis about how the integrated stress response (ISR) is regulated by metabolism — a mechanism linked to aging and disease. The resulting experiments produced new findings the team plans to publish.
