The Consortium for Biomedical Research and AI in Neurodegeneration (C-BRAIN) introduced its first prototype AI tools, including OpenScientist [1]. This agentic AI system is designed to autonomously conduct iterative rounds of biomedical research [1]. It analyzes literature and generates hypotheses to accelerate the discovery of Alzheimer's therapies [1]. Scientists are currently testing these new tools to evaluate their efficiency in the laboratory [1]. The system performs complex data analysis to support the identification of treatment candidates [1]. By automating research cycles, the consortium aims to speed up the therapy development process [1].
