BenevolentAI

Thank you to everyone who joined our Chief Technology Officer, Dr James Malone, to discuss trust and explainability in using AI in drug discovery. Describing how explainable AI can increase transparency in drug discovery, James presented data that compared the performance of our Retrieve to Explain (R2E) system against traditional approaches in predicting clinical trial outcomes. When utilising all data modalities, James shared that R2E demonstrated a higher relative success rate in identifying promising drug targets compared to industry-leading genetics-based methods. These performance improvements confirm R2E's potential to significantly impact the drug discovery process, particularly in the critical areas of target identification and clinical trial success prediction. 👉 Further information is available here: https://lnkd.in/eXeRpuni As the congress draws to a close, our thanks also goes to all the delegates who attended the Keynote Panel, or joined our expert team at our booth to discuss our proprietary pipeline, innovative industry collaborations and validated AI drug discovery technologies.

This weekend, congress season continues apace with the UEG - United European Gastroenterology conference in Vienna. To hear about our novel target for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, BEN-8744, and discuss its potential, connect onsite with our VP of Clinical Development & Translational Medicine, Judit Molnar MD PhD, or contact our team: [email protected] #UEGWeek

Today at BioTechX Europe, our Chief Technology Officer, Dr James Malone, will discuss "Building Trust and Explainability in using AI in Drug Discovery". James will describe how explainable AI can increase transparency in drug discovery, focusing on BenevolentAI's innovative R2E (Retrieve to Explain) system. He'll illustrate the capabilities of R2E, which combines AI-driven information retrieval with explainable predictions to enhance drug target identification. James will also present data comparing R2E's performance against traditional approaches in predicting clinical trial outcomes.

What do we want from AI? In the context of BenevolentAI’s fully explainable language model for target identification, Chief Technology Officer, Dr James Malone, will discuss crucial aspects of AI-driven drug discovery at Lab of the Future today. #LOTFEU2024

Peter Richardson, 1954–2024 Today we commemorate our friend and colleague, Peter Richardson. Peter was one of the founding scientists of BenevolentAI, whose energy, enthusiasm and sheer intellectual firepower helped to shape the company. Perhaps his greatest impact came during the 2020 pandemic, when he identified baricitinib as a potential treatment for COVID-19. This groundbreaking research was published in The Lancet, validated in clinical trials and ultimately led to FDA approval and WHO recommendation. As a direct result of this discovery, baricitinib has been used to treat many hospitalised COVID-19 patients worldwide, and has undoubtedly saved many lives. As a brilliant scientist and leader, and as a kind and thoughtful colleague, Peter had a hugely positive impact on those he worked alongside. He’ll continue to be a source of great inspiration to us all. Our deepest condolences remain with Peter’s family and friends.
