How AI immune system mapping can boost drug discovery

Beyond Biotech - the podcast from Labiotech

Immunai is mapping the immune system at unprecedented scale and granularity. The map, paired with machine learning, looks at how the immune system will respond to drug targets, offering an affordable way to prevent expensive drug failures.

The ultimate goal is to market immune treatments for diseases like cancer faster than ever before.
In this week’s conversation, Noam Solomon, CEO and co-founder of Immunai, covers the data gap in drug discovery and how machine learning (ML) can solve it, how to de-risk early-stage drug discovery, predictions for AI, and more.
