Evaxion Biotech A/S has developed a new proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) platform technology, Observ, to identify a new source of targets for personalized cancer therapy, potentially enabling treatment for patients with cold tumors, normally unresponsive to immunotherapy.
Oxford Drug Design Ltd. has been engaged by Phoremost Ltd. to accelerate a targeted protein degradation discovery program that seeks to identify new E3 ligase-based therapeutic strategies to treat cancer.
Insilico Medicine Inc. has received IND clearance from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for ISM-3312, an orally available 3CLpro inhibitor for the treatment of COVID-19. ISM-3312 has a novel molecular structure and was optimized from compounds designed by Chemistry42, Insilico’s generative chemistry AI platform.
Scientists have identified proteins that changed in response to exercise specifically in trial participants whose blood sugar control improved after taking up an exercise regimen. Based on serum protein analysis, the investigators also developed a machine-learning algorithm that could predict whether an individual’s metabolic sensitivity would be improved by exercise.
Researchers have developed an algorithm that was able to create functional enzymes from scratch after being trained with the amino acid sequences of existing enzymes in the same class. Researchers from the University of California at San Francisco described their method online in Nature Biotechnology on Jan. 26, 2023. The method, which its creators have named Progen, can generate “protein sequences with a predictable function across large protein families,” according to the authors.
Perception Vision Medical Technologies Co. Ltd. (Pvmed) raised around $14 million in a series A financing round, to further develop artificial intelligence (AI) cancer treatment solutions for the two major tumor treatment methods, radiotherapy, and surgery.
Poolbeg Pharma plc has identified potential new drug candidates from its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) artificial intelligence (AI) program with Onethree Biotech Inc.
GATC Health Corp. has announced that the new drug candidates discovered by its proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) drug discovery and prediction platform to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) and fentanyl addiction have entered preclinical development.
It is now possible to look up the 3D structure of every known protein following the latest release of Alphafold, an open database run in partnership by Deepmind, the London-based artificial intelligence company owned by Google parent Alphabet and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge, U.K.
Sonio SAS raised just over $5 million in its seed round to develop artificial intelligence (AI) software allowing health care professionals to determine the most appropriate pregnancy care. Its Sonio Diagnostic software delivers decision support for fetal ultrasound used in antenatal diagnostics.
