As part of the Genesis Mission, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are partnering with scientists at @ArgonneLab, @BerkeleyLab, and @PNNL to advance biological discovery using artificial intelligence.
As part of the Orchestrated Platform for Autonomous Laboratories (OPAL) project, ORNL biologists are working alongside AI and computational scientists to develop a new system for AI-assisted data analysis. The interface leverages the Frontier exascale supercomputer and acts as a co-pilot to help researchers make full use of the cutting-edge imaging capabilities at ORNL’s Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory, accelerating discoveries in plant science.
What’s next for OPAL? Building a platform to share data and foundational AI models across the national labs to further speed biological discovery and enable scientists to engineer proteins, microbes, and plants for next-generation biotechnologies that benefit the nation.
