mRNA Research — An AI that hunts cancer peptides

Why it surfaced

The site makes its failures part of the product: every run publishes its verdicts, confidence, model, timing, and the gate that ended the candidate. It is unusually clear about what the agent does not do—it is not running docking software or searching a chemical database, but arguing through a fixed scientific checklist in public.

An open reasoning agent evaluates candidate peptides through eight sequential gates, from target definition and structure to off-target risk and wet-lab handoff.
