Single-cell technologies have positioned themselves at the forefront of biomedical research. These platforms allow researchers to bypass the uncertainties of bulk data and instead interrogate biological systems at a level of detail that was previously unreachable. by Ruairi J MacKenzie
Paradigm4’s REVEAL Integrative Analytics platform enables Alnylam Pharmaceuticals to discover novel, genetically-validated drug targets from population scale biobank genotype-phenotype datasets and underlies the pace and productivity of Alnylam’s RNAi therapeutics pipeline.
Over the past 5 decades or so, the growing understanding that RNA can influence protein function through routes other than direct translation has opened the prospect of discovering small molecules for tackling diseases in novel ways.
The past few years have seen several flashy demonstrations of how artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms may transform biomedical research, particularly with respect to drug discovery.
