Robots, computers, and algorithms are hunting for potential new therapies in ways humans can’t—by processing huge volumes of data and building previously unimagined molecules.

machine learning algorithm designs antibodies to target specific diseases, then automated robotic systems build and grow them in lab, run tests, and feed data back into algorithm, all with limited human supervision.

      I look forward to wealthy Americans being able to access it while the rest of us wait 19 months to get a new PCP and take out a mortgage for the privilege.

      Parent commenter is introducing problems completely unrelated to what the article is talking about.

              The original statement is that only wealthy Americans will get it. That’s categorically wrong, as many people outside the states have no problem affording modern healthcare. Either he’s forgotten there are countries outside the states, or he thinks the healthcare system worldwide is as screwed up as it is in the states.

                Or he’s specifically referring to the states and everybody else is making assumptions.

                  Can you point to the part of his post that specifically states he’s talking about the US only? The entire point of my reply was just to remind everybody that the US is not the only country in existence.

                    “Wealthy Americans” and “the rest of us” is clearly in reference to the rest of Americans. Give him the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming.

                    I’m not from the US, it annoys me as well, but I don’t agree that it applies in this context.
