How Agentic AI Accelerates Healthcare Research and Innovation

Agentic artificial intelligence tools are emerging as research assistants for life sciences, streamlining everything from Food and Drug Administration submissions to molecular design.Healthcare and life sciences are entering a new phase of digital transformation, powered by the rise of agentic artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional AI tools that focus on prediction or classification, agentic AI combines decision-making and tool use, giving researchers an assistant that can automate labor-intensive tasks, parse vast data sets and accelerate discovery.Dr. Ryan Ries, chief AI and data scientist at Mission Cloud Services, a CDW Company and Amazon Web Services Premier Tier Partner, says the technology is emerging as a tool to help pharmaceutical companies speed up research on drug development and design.

“Researchers are using search agents to sift through data and surface similar information,” says Ries, who has a doctorate in biophysical chemistry. “They’re looking at things like pathways and drug targets or how a compound interacts with cells.”Those researchers are then directing the agent to find additional papers so they can focus on deeper analysis.
