    Nick Lynch of the Pistoia Alliance on AI as a Strategic Focus

    Nick Lynch of the Pistoia Alliance on AI as a Strategic Focus

    On this episode, I speak with Nick Lynch of the Pistoia Alliance ( www.pistoiaalliance.org ), a global nonprofit community of life science stakeholders that works to lower barriers to R&D innovation. A new area of strategic focus is artificial intelligence, which Nick oversees. On this episode, you'll learn challenges with AI that the Pistoia Alliance aims to address, why education and data are key to doing so, and how you can get involved.

    Lucas Siow of ProteinQure on AI for Protein-Based Drugs

    Lucas Siow of ProteinQure on AI for Protein-Based Drugs

    On this episode, I speak with Lucas Siow, Head of Business Operations at ProteinQure ( www.proteinqure.com ). ProteinQure uses artificial intelligence and quantum computing to design protein-based drugs such as antibodies and peptides. On this episode, you'll learn the benefits of protein-based drugs, challenges with discovering them, and how ProteinQure has combined emerging technologies in what may be the most science fiction-sounding drug discovery startup I've seen yet.

    Regina Barzilay, AI Small Molecule Discovery and Synthesis

    Regina Barzilay, AI Small Molecule Discovery and Synthesis

    On this episode, I speak with Regina Barzilay of MIT's Machine Learning for Pharmaceutical Discovery and Synthesis consortium ( http://mlpds.mit.edu ). Regina is a prolific researcher with many highly cited papers in machine learning. On this episode, you'll learn what drove the need for the consortium, the importance of standards and benchmarks for AI drug discovery research, and the progress researchers are making in applying machine learning to chemical synthesis.

    Tim Guilliams and David Brown, Healx, AI for Rare Diseases

    Tim Guilliams and David Brown, Healx, AI for Rare Diseases

    On this episode, I speak with Tim Guilliams and David Brown of Healx. Healx uses AI to repurpose existing drugs for rare diseases. They claim their approach can bring new treatments to patients 80% faster and 90% cheaper. On this episode, you’ll learn how rare diseases are surprisingly common, why drug repurposing holds promise to treat them, and how Healx uses AI to do it. And you will, I hope, be inspired by a powerful example of AI's potential in healthcare.

    John Cassidy, CEO, Cambridge Cancer Genomics, AI in Oncology

    John Cassidy, CEO, Cambridge Cancer Genomics, AI in Oncology

    On this episode, I speak with John Cassidy, CEO of Cambridge Cancer Genomics ( www.ccg.ai ). CCG aims to transform oncology by combining liquid biopsy with genomics and artificial intelligence to predict disease progression and improve treatment. On this episode, you’ll learn about the challenges with chemotherapy that CCG is tackling, the role that liquid biopsy and artificial intelligence play in their solution, and how their approach could forever change the way we treat cancer.

    Kristen Fortney, CEO of BioAge Labs, on AI Aging Research

    Kristen Fortney, CEO of BioAge Labs, on AI Aging Research

    On this episode, I speak with Kristen Fortney, founder and CEO of BioAge Labs ( www.bioagelabs.com ). Kristen leads one of just a few companies focused explicitly on aging itself, rather than the diseases for which aging puts people at greater risk. In this episode, you’ll learn how BioAge combines unique data sources with in silico analysis and lab experimentation to expedite the search for novel interventions that might just help you live healthier, longer.
