OpenAI brings ChatGPT and Codex into UPenn drug discovery workflows
AllThingsApx · x · 2026-09-05
OpenAI Forum will host a Sept 10 livestream with UPenn's Machine Biology Group on how ChatGPT and Codex accelerate drug discovery.
- Prof. César de la Fuente pioneered AI-designed antibiotics, creating the first computer-designed antibiotic effective in animal models and compressing preclinical candidate identification from years to hours.
- The lab uses ChatGPT to connect ideas across chemistry, biology, engineering and CS, while Codex lets experimental scientists join computational research directly.
- The notable thesis: general-purpose AI is becoming the interface layer for scientific discovery itself, not just another biotech foundation model.
