Nature Reviews Cancer at 25: researchers weigh agentic AI and human-AI co-science in oncology
marinkazitnik · x · 2026-09-09
For its 25th anniversary, Nature Reviews Cancer published a Viewpoint where six researchers reflect on a quarter century of cancer research—transformative advances and unmet expectations—and where the field is heading.
Marinka Zitnik contributes a section on agentic AI and human-AI co-science, outlining what it takes for autonomous AI agents to work effectively in cancer research.
