Introducing Agentic Research: A New Era for Scientific Decision-Making

In life sciences R&D, every decision carries weight. The choice in selecting a target, validating a biomarker, or planning a trial can determine whether a life-saving therapy reaches patients or a $2B asset stalls in the pipeline. Each delay erodes asset value with timelines stretching over a decade.

This is the barrier that holds back innovation. But today, I am proud to announce the launch of Agentic Research, a platform of multi-autonomous AI research agents built for life sciences R&D. With this launch, we are setting a new standard for scientific decision-making, one that is faster, more confident, and deeply grounded in evidence.

R&D Leaders Need More Than Speed - They Need Confidence

Working with R&D leaders worldwide, I understand the pressure to deliver more value, compress timelines, and make confident decisions despite biological complexity and information overload.

Most tools are not designed for this reality. They provide search results, not research. That gap is exactly why we built Agentic Research.

Built for Science. Engineered for R&D Excellence.

Agentic Research redefines how scientists interact with knowledge. Multi-autonomous AI agents plan, research, and synthesize biomedical evidence, while explaining every step of their reasoning.

What makes it unique? It’s the three things we have built into its foundation:

• Scientific retrieval: Domain-specific retrieval using ontologies and normalized entities to find the right relevant papers, extract facts, and rank results by scientific signal.

• Data fabric with two graphs: Graph-grounded reasoning enriched with biological and competitive context. Bio Graph models cause–effect relationships, and Pipeline Graph maps targets, modalities, and indications, all anchored in a proprietary biomedical fabric.

• Built for scientists: Designed for transparency and ease of use. Every claim links to sources in an evidence matrix, with assumptions, limitations, and methods logs. Multi-turn workflows progress from search to Deep Research that teams can review, revise, and reproduce.

Together, these capabilities set Agentic Research apart from generic AI solutions and align it directly with how science and platform actually work.

What This Means for R&D Leaders

Agentic AI is creating a new paradigm. Everything we know in research workflows is changing. With Agentic Research, you can:

• Compresses research timelines by automating up to 80% of scientific workflows

• Improves success rates through broad evidence integration and advanced reasoning

• Increases scientific capacity with existing resources

• Make earlier, more confident decisions that protect asset value and accelerate development

Agentic Research does more than accelerate science. It strengthens the business case for every novel target, therapeutic comparison, or clinical trial by providing the intelligence and the confidence to move forward.  

What This Means for CIOs and Tech Leaders

Scientific success also depends on strong IT foundations. CIOs are tasked with delivering ROI on AI investments while ensuring governance, security, and interoperability. That is why we designed Agentic Research to deliver:

• Seamless integration with legacy and a modern, single, intuitive interface.

• Agent orchestration across internal and third-party systems (e.g., OpenAI, Google Agentspace, or AWS Bedrock)

• Transparent governance through policy enforcement, hallucination guardrails, and audit logs

• A single interface that drives adoption across scientific teams without shadow AI

Agentic Research is an operating system scientists will use, and IT can trust.

From Discovery to Development: A Platform for Every Use Case

What is most exciting is the breadth of what’s now possible.  R&D does not stop at discovery, and neither does Agentic Research. It supports the entire pipeline:

• Target and pathway identification

• Disease mechanism mapping

• Biomarker discovery and modality comparison

• Hypothesis testing and synthesis

• Trial planning and clinical decision support

Regardless of where your teams sit, whether in discovery, translational research, or clinical development, Agentic Research equips them to move faster and think deeper without sacrificing rigor.

Let’s Redefine What’s Possible in R&D

We’re entering an era where AI is not only a backend accelerator but also a front-line collaborator. With Agentic Research, we have built more than a research tool. We have built a research partner that is transparent, rigorous, and built for science.  

This is how the next generation of therapies will be discovered, not by replacing scientists, but by empowering them with agents that reason, orchestrate, and deliver evidence with confidence.
