AI could let individuals build personal bio labs and test drugs on their own tissue

The post argues that by 2026, AI could let individuals source biotech parts online, assemble a personal bio lab, and run organoid experiments on their own tissue instead of relying on billion-dollar FDA trials.
It frames this as a dramatic shift in drug development: if better predictive models can reduce trial failure rates by even a few points, the incentive to run human trials increases. The quoted reply adds that better human-organ models and AI already make such prediction more feasible.
