  • Publication number: 20220165360
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes generating a design space for a peptide for an application. The generating includes identifying sequences for the peptide, and updating the sequences by determining, for each of the sequences, a respective set of activities pertaining to the application. The updating produces updated sequences each having updated respective activities. The method includes generating, based on the updated sequences, a solution space within the design space. The solution space includes a target subset of the updated sequences. The method includes performing, using a machine learning model to process the solution space, trials to identify a candidate drug compound that represents a sequence having a level of activity that exceeds a threshold level, and transmitting information describing the candidate drug compound to a computing device.

  • Publication number: 20220164343
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method is disclosed for presenting, on a computing device, a graphical user interface (GUI) of a therapeutic tool. The method includes presenting, in a first screen of the GUI, a design space for a protein for an application, where the design space includes a set of sequences, where each sequence contains a respective set of activities pertaining to the application. The method also includes receiving, via a graphical element in the first screen, a selection of one or more query parameters of the design space, and presenting, in a second screen of the GUI, a solution space that includes a subset of the set of sequences, where each sequence contains the respective set of activities, where the subset of the set of sequences is selected based on the one or more query parameters.

  • Publication number: 20220059196
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for pre-clinical validation of an effectiveness of a candidate drug compound is disclosed. The method may include receiving, at a processing device, a signal that comprises at least two wavelengths that are each associated with a respective biomarker, wherein the signal is received subsequent to administering the candidate drug compound to a proxy organism, such organism including at least two assays configured to reveal the respective biomarkers. The method also may include analyzing the signal to obtain the at least two wavelengths, and detecting, based on an analysis of the at least two wavelengths, whether each of the respective biomarkers are present.

  • Publication number: 20210249108
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence engine for generating drug compounds is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method may include generating a biological context representation of a set of drug compounds. The biological context representation includes a first data structure having a first format. The method may also include translating, by the artificial intelligence engine, the first data structure having the first format to a second data structure having a second format. The method may also include generating, based on the second data structure having the second format, a set of candidate drug compounds. The method may also include classifying a candidate drug compound from the set of candidate drug compounds as a selected candidate drug compound.
