2026年10月7日，Biohub、美国能源部（DOE）、国立卫生研究院（NIH）及私营行业合作伙伴宣布共同投资18亿美元用于AI生物数据项目。
Biohub, U.S. Agencies, and Tech Giants Commit $1.8 Billion to AI Biological Data Initiative On October 7, 2026, Biohub, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and private industry partners announced a $1.8 billion collaborative investment in the Virtual Biology Initiative.
该项目旨在创建开放、适用于AI的生物数据集，以支持预测性细胞模型的开发。
The effort aims to generate open, AI-ready biological datasets to power predictive cellular models.
其中，美国能源部将在五年内提供超过5亿美元用于计算和实验室研究，国立卫生研究院则将标准化5亿美元的现有生物医学数据集。
As part of the funding, the DOE is allocating over $500 million across five years for computational and laboratory research, while the NIH is standardizing $500 million worth of existing biomedical datasets.
谷歌DeepMind、Isomorphic Labs和Meta也共同出资3亿美元。
Meanwhile, Google DeepMind, Isomorphic Labs, and Meta are collectively contributing $300 million.
该项目以Biohub最初的500万美元投入为基石，汇集了包括NVIDIA在内的主要学术联盟和科技公司，以加速数字疾病建模和生物技术研究。
Anchored by an initial $500 million commitment from Biohub, the project unites major academic consortia and technology firms, including NVIDIA, to accelerate digital disease modeling and biotechnology research.
