●“Accelerate and advance dry research with drug discovery support solutions using hypothesis generation AI”
FRONTEO and Axcelead DDP announced the conclusion of a basic AI drug discovery support partnership agreement in November 2023. By combining FRONTEO's hypothesis generation AI and Axcelead DDP's drug discovery platform functions, hypotheses can be constructed through dry research (data analysis using computers and AI), and wet research (biological research using cells, animals, etc.). This makes it possible to efficiently operate the cycle of verifying them through tests).
In addition to an overview of the AI ​​drug discovery support partnership, this seminar will focus on the technologies of both companies that are the core of the partnership.
The FRONTEO part is responsible for dry research in partnerships, and uses in-house developed AI to propose hypotheses for highly novel target genes, drug repositioning, and disease mechanisms. introduce.

●“Accelerate hypothesis verification with diverse validation platforms”
In recent years, the depletion of drug discovery targets has become a contributing factor to the inefficiency of drug discovery, and AI is attracting great expectations as a solution to this problem. In addition, it is extremely important to quickly and efficiently verify the validity of promising and unique hypotheses, drug discovery targets, and target diseases generated by AI to improve the efficiency of drug discovery. However, in order to test the diverse hypotheses generated by AI, a variety of approaches, both in vitro and in vivo, are required. In this lecture, we will provide an overview of Axcelead's various hypothesis testing platforms that create dry x wet synergies.
