DeepMind's goal is a bit more specific than that. They want to solve intelligence so they can use that intelligence to understand science. Demis Hassabis wants to answer all of the fundamental questions in physics, chem, bio, math, everything.

Isomorphic labs is a drug discovery startup that spun out of DeepMind. Hassabis has long hoped to build a virtual simulation of a cell, which would allow you to run infinite experiments on a cell. That would radically shorten the timecycles for disease discovery.
