Google AI Breakthrough: DeepMind’s ‘Gemma’ Model Discovers Potential New Cancer Therapy, Confirms Sundar Pichai

California / New Haven:
In a major scientific breakthrough, Google’s DeepMind AI division has reportedly discovered a potential new method for cancer therapy. The revelation was made by Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to share details about this revolutionary achievement in AI-driven medical research.

Pichai stated that the discovery was the result of a joint research effort between Google DeepMind and Yale University. The AI model, named C2S-Scale 27B — Gemma Base Foundation Model, has identified a possible new approach to understanding and treating cancer at the cellular level.

“An exciting milestone in AI science has been reached,” Pichai wrote. “Our Gamma-based C2S-Scale 27B model, developed with Yale, has generated a potential new therapy pathway based on cancer cellular behavior. The results have been experimentally verified in live cells.”

He further added that additional pre-clinical and clinical tests will be necessary before the therapy can move closer to real-world application.

“After further testing, this discovery could lead to a new, promising, and guided approach in the fight against cancer,” Pichai noted.

About the Research

The Gemma AI model is part of DeepMind’s expanding portfolio of AI-driven scientific projects, aimed at solving complex biological problems. This latest development builds upon DeepMind’s previous work in protein structure prediction (AlphaFold), which transformed biomedical research worldwide.

If validated through subsequent clinical trials, this discovery could open new frontiers in AI-powered cancer treatment, potentially transforming how therapies are designed and tested in the future.
