"Our collaborative approach to science and cutting-edge facilities empowers us to push the boundaries of what's possible in AI-driven science."

Hector Garcia Martin, a person wearing a dark blue quarter zip with their arms crossed.

"I think an intense application of AI and robotics/automation to synthetic biology can accelerate synthetic biology timelines approximately 20-fold."

Ben Nachman, a person with light brown hair and glasses.

"Machine learning allows physicists to do what they couldn’t before, such as hunting for new particles by automatically identifying subtle patterns in complex data at herculean scales. The potential for discovery was unimaginable even a few years ago."
