Microsoft Research introduced Quine, a research system that combines a multimodal world model of biology with a harness connecting scientific tools, literature, and researchers. The system was used with the Broad Institute to prioritize compounds for therapeutic tumor-state shifts, with several top candidates validated in wet-lab assays. Quine is experimental research technology not intended for clinical use, and access will be expanded through the Quine Fellows program and eventually products like Microsoft Discovery.
