Nvidia unveils powerful AI system for genetic research





AI chipmaker Nvidia and research partners have created what they call the largest artificial intelligence system yet for biological research, the company said on Wednesday, aiming to speed up breakthroughs in medicine and genetics.The new AI system, called Evo 2, can read and design genetic code across all forms of life.

The system learned from nearly 9 trillion pieces of genetic information taken from over 128,000 different organisms, including bacteria, plants, and humans.

In early tests, it accurately identified 90% of potentially harmful mutations in BRCA1, a gene linked to breast cancer. Scientists say this could help develop more precise treatments, including gene therapies that only target specific cells.

The model was built using 2,000 Nvidia H100 processors on Amazon's cloud infrastructure.

Developed with the Arc Institute and Stanford University, Evo 2 is now freely available to scientists worldwide through Nvidia's BioNeMo research platform."Designing new biology has traditionally been a laborious, unpredictable and artisanal process," said Brian Hie, assistant professor at Stanford University.Scientists have high hopes that such AI technology will dramatically accelerate research by spotting patterns in vast amounts of data that would normally take years to analyse by hand.

"With Evo 2, we make biological design of complex systems more accessible to researchers."

Beyond medicine, researchers believe the technology could help create crops that better withstand climate change and develop new ways to break down pollution.The project brings together Nvidia's computing power with the Arc Institute, a nonprofit research center founded in 2021 with $650 million in funding.The institute works closely with Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco to tackle long-term scientific challenges.

How COVID Sped Up Our Brains’ Aging!

International Research Awards How COVID Sped Up Our Brains’ Aging! Emerging research reveals a startling truth: COVID-19 doesn't just impact the lungs—it may accelerate brain aging. Even mild cases have been linked to memory loss, decreased cognitive performance, and changes in brain structure, especially in regions tied to attention and emotional regulation. Long COVID symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating mimic those seen in decades-older individuals, suggesting the virus may speed up neurological aging. Scientists are racing to understand how inflammation, vascular damage, and immune responses triggered by the virus contribute to this silent cognitive toll. 🌍 Visit Our Website : researchawards.net ✉️ Contact Us : contact@researchawards.net
