🧬DrugCLIP rewires drug discovery, from years to a single day
Biotech Singularity vibes. This might be the biggest AI × biology breakthrough of the year so far and 2026 has barely started. Researchers have unveiled DrugCLIP, a new AI system that radically changes how we search for drug molecules.
Why this is a big deal:
• Traditional virtual screening simulates how each molecule binds to each protein
• That’s painfully slow, insanely expensive, and scales terribly
• Weeks or months of compute just to test a fraction of possibilities
What DrugCLIP does differently
• Treats drug discovery lik
