The provided text introduces LUMI-lab, an innovative, AI-driven autonomous laboratory designed to accelerate the discovery of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for mRNA delivery. This system overcomes the challenge of limited historical data by utilizing a foundation model pretrained on 3D molecular structures and iterative robotic experimentation. Through this closed-loop process, the researchers identified LUMI-6, a novel brominated ionizable lipid that significantly enhances endosomal escape and gene-editing efficiency in lung tissues. Experimental results demonstrate that these AI-discovered…
