NVIDIA announced NVIDIA BioNeMo Agent Toolkit, which provides domain-specific tools and skills for the agentic life sciences era.

Including more than a decade’s worth of NVIDIA life sciences libraries, tools and open models, the toolkit enables AI agents, scientists and labs to work together by gathering evidence, reasoning across findings, running computational experiments and recommending the next best steps to accelerate discovery.

It gives any agent or AI platform — from general-purpose assistants to specialized scientific agents, software platforms and in-house biopharma systems — the tools needed to synthesize and summarize scientific knowledge, call models, evaluate results, reason and execute next actions.

“Frontier models are the brains. BioNeMo is the scientific toolbox. Together, they give AI agents the skills of a PhD research assistant and the speed of a supercomputer,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “For the first time, researchers can build AI agents that understand scientific knowledge, use scientific tools and execute scientific workflows. This is a new way to do science — one that can dramatically accelerate discovery across biology, chemistry, genomics and medicine.”

“Every tool we’ve built for protein design is only as powerful as the scientists who can efficiently access it,” said David Baker, professor of biochemistry at the University of Washington School of Medicine and director of the Institute for Protein Design. “The next leap in science won’t come from a single discovery; it will come from the speed of iterative designs and agents that can repeatedly reason through the complexity of biology at a speed humans never could.”
