Yesterday, Odyssey's Chief Data Officer Joseph Mcdonald joined industry leaders from Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, BigHat Biosciences, Sequome, and Samsara BioCapital for a panel discussion on the opportunities and challenges of using #AI and #ML tools for hit identification, multiparameter optimization, and in vivo property prediction to accelerate #DrugDiscovery in small molecules. During the session they were asked for their opinions on the impact of AI/ML in the industry over the next three to five years. Joe shared: “It could be that we will see new ways of monitoring patients, where instead of just using the maximum tolerated dose, we use machine learning to monitor patients more effectively. This allows us to titrate their dose, so treatments are effective and avoid toxicology risks.” Thank you, Biotechnology Innovation Organization, for hosting us and orchestrating an amazing event! #BIO2024

“What we want ultimately are scientists to leverage machine learning to see and observe trends, while using their own scientific knowledge as a filter, and be better as a result of seeing those ideas from machine learning.” Today Joseph Mcdonald, Odyssey's Chief Data Officer, participated in a #BIO2024 panel discussion titled “AI and Machine Learning Transforming R&D and Business.” Joe highlighted the power of #AI and #ML in drug discovery and emphasized the crucial role of scientists in interpreting and utilizing these insights. He shared how Odyssey has a multi-disciplinary team of scientists who understand drug discovery and can effectively integrate machine learning into decision-making processes. Joe will participate in another panel tomorrow from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PT in section 30ABC for a session titled “Using AI/ML for Identification and Optimization of Therapeutic Molecules.” We encourage those attending #BIO2024 to stop by and listen in.
