Stanford researchers have developed a Virtual Biotech platform running tens of thousands of collaborating AI agents that successfully designed novel nanobody drugs outperforming previous human designs, validated in wet labs, and utilizing a new AI-native data integration system called Paperclip to overcome legacy database limitations.
