Microsoft's Quine: Drug Screening in a Weekend, Not Months

News·September 30, 2026

Microsoft Research just unveiled Quine, a 'biological world model' that could slash drug screening from months to a single weekend. In a pancreatic cancer study with Harvard, Quine sifted through thousands of compounds and even predicted a hidden cell state. But don't expect it in your doctor's office yet—it's strictly a research tool for now.
