Seattle-based Pauling.AI is shrinking early drug discovery timelines from six months to just a few weeks. Led by former Google health director Javier Tordable, the platform uses autonomous AI agents to handle complex molecular modeling and toxicity predictions. This automation could potentially scale annual drug approvals from 40 to 400 by making the research of rare diseases economically feasible. The shift toward Scientist-as-a-Service models marks a systemic move from manual R&D to high-throughput discovery.
