Insilico Open-Sources DORA: Multi-Agent AI for Science

On January 8, 2026, Insilico Medicine announced the release of the source code for its DORA system (Community Edition) on GitHub. DORA is an advanced framework for building multi-agent systems designed to automate complex scientific workflows. Unlike standard chatbots, DORA allows the creation of teams of specialized agents capable of collaboratively analyzing literature, formulating hypotheses, and even controlling laboratory equipment.

The decision to open-source the code, supported by Microsoft, aims to democratize AI tools in biomedicine. Researchers worldwide can now use and modify architecture that was previously available only to major pharma companies. This is a significant step toward reproducible and open science, where routine intellectual tasks are delegated to digital assistants.
