The team at MIT created the most comprehensive database of metabolites, their interactions with proteins, protein-protein interactions, drug-protein interactions, and associations of metabolites with diseases. They then use the obtained interactions map to make inferences about the disease mechanisms and novel targets. With this new technology, the team launched a biotech startup ReviveMed in 2016 having raised $1.5M of funding so far.

“One-target-one-disease” paradigm has been around for decades, prompting numerous drug discovery programs focusing on identifying small molecules for targeting only one specific protein (or other targets) believed to be responsible for the disease mechanism.

In this interview, Dr. Jackie Hunter, CEO at BenevolentAI, provides insights into how the company’s AI-driven platform helps scientists create and validate complex research hypotheses faster and more efficiently.

This is an interview with Niels Iversen Møller, a CEO, and Co-founder of Evaxion Biotech -- an immuno-informatics biotech from Denmark.

Evaxion Biotech uses its machine learning-based platform to compare DNAs of tumor cells and DNAs healthy cells and identify mutations that are critical for the disease. This data is further used to design anticancer vaccines.

IBM developed machine learning models to analyze correlations between diseases and side effects commonly caused by the medications used to treat them. Watch this video to see a visual analytics system to support the interactive exploration of these associations.
