Stanford's Virtual Biotech Runs on 37,000 AI Agents

A Stanford Medicine lab has spun out a biotech startup unlike any other: 37,000 employees, zero humans. The AI-powered virtual company requires no office, no payroll, and no physical lab. Created by an associate professor of biomedical data science, the startup relies entirely on AI agents to operate. The venture represents a bold experiment in automating scientific research and drug development through artificial intelligence.
