• Research Can Now Be Entirely AI-Automated With a Tool From ITMO

  ITMO researchers have developed CoScientist, an AI system that can automate the full cycle of research and development in computational chemistry and medicine. Unlike similar assistants, CoScientist doesn’t solve separate research tasks; instead, it tackles complex higher-order ones alongside scientists: analyzes literature, extracts and prepares data, trains generative and predictive AI models to search for new molecules and compounds, and selects candidates based on multiple criteria. The new solution will improve the efficiency and accelerate research in chemistry, nanomaterials, and clinical medicine.
