Drug Repurposing Approaches Utilizing Advanced Analytics

Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars in R&D discovering and testing new drug therapies, often reaching a dead end in either discovery or clinical trials. Our client wanted to improve the way the healthcare industry approaches drug discovery by developing a new approach to repurpose known drugs towards alternative diseases and therapies

Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars on R&D to discover and test new drug therapies, often reaching a dead end in either the discovery or clinical trials stage. Our client wanted to improve the approach of the healthcare industry towards drug discovery by developing a new method to repurpose known drugs for alternative diseases and therapies.

Client Challenge

Our team of data analytics experts developed a new approach that utilizes advanced analytics methods, such as reinforcement learning, to build knowledge graphs that develop and learn policies for predicting plausible diseases given a specific compound.

Our Approach

Our AI-guided drug repurposing solution resulted in faster training times and a higher level of interpretability compared to existing AI approaches for drug discovery.
