The world of life and health sciences is witnessing a transformative shift with generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). This technology is not only revolutionizing the way we approach scientific research and laboratory science but is also reshaping the landscape of scientific equipment and instruments.
The rise of AI has taken the world into a new and exciting direction. Tasks that previously took hours can now be completed in a fraction of the time, boosting productivity and freeing up resources to reach milestones and accomplish goals faster than ever before.
At Researcher, we’ve always chased innovative and exciting solutions for scientists: from our mobile app that helps keep up with scientific literature, to the Researcher Live platform for online events, and the in-house magazine Researcher Insights. With the growing accessibility of sophisticated language model technology, we are once again offering our community of academics a way to ease the burden of administrative and repetitive tasks.
Introducing Researcher Toolbox – an all-in-one online platform, here to assist with monotonous daily responsibilities: checking citations in a manuscript, comparing articles from the literature, querying content, drafting lecture plans, grant proposals, transcribing audio files of talks, and more.
AI in Biotech: A Revolutionary Leap Forward
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in biotech is not just a game-changer; it's the dealer reshuffling the entire deck. We're talking about a seismic shift that's redefining the boundaries of what's possible in healthcare and medicine. AI isn't just streamlining processes; it's rewriting the rule book. From gene editing marvels like CRISPR to the uncharted territories of prime editing, AI is the new alchemist, turning data into gold.
Today we are speaking to Dr Layla Hosseini-Gerami, co-founder of Ignota Labs - an exciting new start-up company aimed at rescuing distressed pharmaceutical assets using Explainable AI .

Generative AI (GenAI) is rapidly transforming scientific research - not only accelerating scientific discovery but also reshaping traditional business operations, as highlighted in a recent report by Deloitte US. Life sciences companies that leverage GenAI to transform end-to-end processes are finding themselves with a competitive edge. In the early stage of GenAI adoption, speed is of the essence. Companies that implement GenAI solutions swiftly are likely to extract immediate value and gain a significant advantage over competitors - with promising results already seen in several key sectors.
