Drug development today forces patients to fit standard medications—but what if we could reverse that paradigm and design treatments tailored to each patient's unique biology?

This episode explores how specialized AI cloud infrastructure is transforming drug discovery and healthcare research–not as a distant future possibility, but as tools available to researchers today. Joining the conversation is Dr. Ilya Burkov, who shares how the right computational foundation and HPC tools accelerate scientific breakthroughs at AI speed.

The conversation reveals a significant shift in accessibility: junior researchers without specialized training now achieve 80-90% success rates in complex CRISPR experiments using agentic AI systems. These results once required years of expertise. Small research teams and startups can now access the same cutting-edge infrastructure as major pharmaceutical companies. This democratization directly impacts clinical practice: drug development timelines are compressing from decades to months, which means personalized treatments tailored to individual biology could become available within your career timeline.

It's not just about raw infrastructure efficiency. It's about the combination of technology, accessibility, domain expertise, and white-glove support that together transform what's possible in healthcare innovation.
