Abstract

The rapid growth of biomedical literature and curated databases has made it increasingly difficult for researchers to systematically connect biomarker mechanisms to actionable drug combination hypotheses. We present AI Co-Scientist (CoDHy), an interactive, human-in-the-loop system for biomarker-guided drug combination hypothesis generation in cancer research. CoDHy integrates structured biomedical databases and unstructured literature evidence into a task-specific knowledge graph, which serves as the basis for graph-based reasoning and hypothesis construction. The system combines knowledge graph embeddings with agent-based reasoning to generate, validate, and rank candidate drug combinations, while explicitly grounding each hypothesis in retrievable evidence. Through a web-based interface, users can configure the scientific context, inspect intermediate results, and iteratively refine hypotheses, enabling transparent and researcher-steerable exploration rather than automated decision-making. We demonstrate CoDHy as a system for exploratory hypothesis generation and decision support in translational oncology, highlighting its design, interaction workflow, and practical use cases.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

  • Extraction flags indicate low-signal or possible false-positive protocol mapping.
  • Extraction confidence is 0.15 (below strong-reference threshold).
  • No explicit evaluation mode was extracted from available metadata.
  • No benchmark/dataset or metric anchors were extracted.
