Phylo x ZS: Scaling agentic AI across enterprise R&D
By Phylo & ZS
ZS and Phylo have partnered to help biomedical organizations accelerate discovery with agentic AI. Together, ZS’s discovery and data expertise and Phylo’s AI-powered biomedical research environment enable faster analysis, stronger scientific decision-making, and more connected research workflows.
We’re excited to announce our partnership with ZS to bring agentic AI into the hands of the world’s leading drug discovery teams.
Biomedical research organizations need to move faster, improve scientific productivity, and make better decisions across growing volumes of omics, multimodal, imaging, and experimental data. But many teams still work across siloed tools, fragmented knowledge, and specialized workflows that slow analysis, target evaluation, and research synthesis.
What ZS + Phylo enables
- Deploy Biomni Lab, an agentic AI scientist platform that spans the full research workflow — running bioinformatics pipelines, querying and reasoning over literature, designing molecules and protocols, generating hypotheses, and even fine-tuning bio foundation models.
- Organize agent-native teams around strategic initiatives like target prioritization, translational strategy, and indication expansion, using specialized agentic apps that turn scattered work into shared, evidence-linked workstreams.
- Establish an organizational system of record for R&D — every analysis, hypothesis, and decision trace captured and made discoverable through Phylo’s proprietary biomedical knowledge graph.
- Scale agentic AI across R&D by pairing Phylo’s biomedical AI platform with ZS’s expertise in research strategy, data integration, governance, workflow design, and enterprise adoption.
Together, ZS and Phylo help R&D organizations move from disconnected tools and early AI experimentation to integrated, governed, agent-native science at enterprise scale.
