Eli Lilly Accelerates Drug Discovery With Agentic Workflows
Research teams orchestrate agents to mine literature, propose candidate molecules and design experiments, compressing early-stage discovery cycles.
Analysis
Agents act as tireless research associates: gathering evidence, maintaining a living hypothesis graph and flagging contradictions for scientists to resolve.
Why it matters
Discovery is a long-cycle, high-value problem where even modest acceleration compounds into significant pipeline value over time.
