simulates protein folding in under ten seconds
You spend your days optimizing expression vectors and screening protein-ligand binding affinities. Your lab bench is just a very expensive place to lose your pipette tips.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still explain why the expression system crashed at three in the morning.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Your manual lab notes are replaced by real-time automated data logging sensors.
Month 4
Robotic FPLC systems handle all chromatography steps without needing human intervention.
Month 10
Vision-guided robotic arms replace manual pipetting for high-throughput binding assays.
Month 16
Predictive software eliminates the need to empirically test every protein construct.
Year 2 · D-Day
Autonomous labs fully manage drug discovery pipelines from inception to validation.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
