“This collaboration will showcase how the combination of our unique technology platforms will lead to accelerated research based on better data enabling better decisions,” he said in a press release.Ī research paper about closed-loop drug discovery describes the process as a centralized workflow controlled by machine learning. Fleming, Arctoris co-founder and COO, described this project as “a world-first closed-loop drug discovery project” that combines AI and robotics-powered drug discovery.

The resulting data will inform the next iteration of the experiment. IBM Research will design and synthesize new chemical matter that Arctoris will test and analyze. Experiments conducted with Ulysses generate 100 times more data points per assay compared to industry-standard manual methods, according to Arctoris. The company’s automated platform uses robots and digital data capture to conduct lab experiments in cell and molecular biology and biochemistry and biophysics. That information is passed on to RoboRXN, an automated platform for molecule synthesis.Īrctoris, a drug discovery company, brought Ulysses to the project. RXN for Chemistry uses natural language processing to automate synthetic chemistry and artificial intelligence to make predictions about which compound has the highest chance of success. IBM Research contributed two platforms to the project.

The two companies aim to make smarter choices early on in the process, iterate faster and improve the odds of finding an effective treatment. IBM Research and Arctoris are bringing the power of artificial intelligence and robotic automation to the process of developing new drugs.

In this course, you’ll learn how to use Unreal Engine’s Template and Packs features to reduce repetition and standardize usage of assets. When you’re rapidly iterating on project ideas or prototyping concepts, you might find yourself recreating the same basic project setup or using the same basic assets in your workflow.
