Publication number: 20250104237Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying molecules that are biologically active against a disease, where the method can comprise culturing a first mammalian cell population under organoid formation conditions in the presence of a test molecule to obtain a first organoid, wherein the first mammalian cell population, when cultured under the organoid formation conditions in the absence of the test molecule, results in an organoid with a disease phenotype; imaging the first organoid following exposure to the test molecule; analyzing one or more images of the first organoid using a neural network that has been trained to assign a probability score of disease or non-disease ranging between 0% and 100%; assigning the first organoid a probability score ranging between 0% and 100%; wherein the test molecule is biologically active against the disease if the probability score of the first organoid is greater than a cutoff probability score of non-disease or lower than a cutoff probability score of disease.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Jakob Metzger, Fred Etoc, Ali Brivanlou, Eric Siggia
