GSK expands collaboration with Chai Discovery after lab tests

GSK has entered a broader collaboration with AI biotech Chai Discovery after evaluating its protein-folding and molecular-design models. In the evaluation, Chai’s models generated designs for GSK targets without target-specific training. GSK then tested the designs in its labs and reported finding binders for every target tested, with strong binding affinities across a diverse panel. GSK will gain access to Chai’s platform to support drug-discovery work across its pipeline. GSK said the tools complement its own models, which are continually retrained using its laboratory data. The results are an early experimental validation of AI-designed molecules—not evidence that any resulting drug is clinically effective. The report notes that clinical validation remains a long way off. Sources: GSK drinks in Chai Discovery’s AI models after wet-lab validation Chai Discovery Announces Collaboration with GSK ...
