Chalmers builds closed-loop AI scientist that autonomously makes experimentally validated biology discoveries
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-10-04
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology built a closed-loop AI scientist that generates hypotheses, designs real lab experiments, analyzes results, and decides what to investigate next with minimal human intervention.
- Working with yeast, it connects LLM agents to automated cell culture and metabolomics equipment
- It produced experimentally validated discoveries, including previously unknown interactions involving glutamate, spermine, aminoadipate, and formic acid stress
- A notable step toward autonomous science running real wet-lab experiments
