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.

      If you meant “everybody on Europe” I’d reluctantly agree. But almost no one in Africa, or South America, or most of Asia will have access to this too

        You might be surprised how prevalent universal healthcare is in Asia. Source, am Asian.

          Russia, India and Bangladesh are on Asia too. Plenty of poor countries on Asia. But, this is a second-handed account since I’m not from Asia, I’m from South America

          I understand. They really tend to see themselves as the default, despite being fewer than 4% of the world in absolute numbers, it is unnerving sometimes
