arXiv:2604.23938v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Target Safety Assessment (TSA) requires systematic integration of genetic, transcriptomic, target homology, pharmacological, and clinical data to evaluate potential safety liabilities of therapeutic targets. This process is labor-intensive and expert-dependent, posing challenges in scalability and reproducibility. We present TSAssistant, a human-in-the-loop multi-agent framework that decomposes TSA report generation into a workflow of specialized subagents: Research Subagents that each ground and cite a single TSA domain, and Synthesis Subage
The rapid advancement in multi-agent AI systems and large language models makes the development of specialized frameworks like TSAssistant technically feasible and increasingly necessary for complex scientific tasks.
This development indicates a significant step towards automating highly specialized and labor-intensive workflows in critical fields like drug discovery, reducing dependence on human experts for initial assessments.
The process of Target Safety Assessment can become significantly faster, more scalable, and less prone to human bias, potentially accelerating therapeutic target identification and validation.

Automated, systematic integration of diverse biological data sets for target assessment becomes standard practice.
The reduced barrier to entry for early-stage target validation drives an increase in novel therapeutic candidates entering the pipeline.
AI-driven frameworks become indispensable across all stages of drug discovery, shifting research funding and talent towards AI-integrated biology.
