Recently there has been a flurry of announcements from AI-led biotechs around the potential of Large Language Models (LLM) in early drug discovery. In the second of a three-part series, Dr Raminderpal Singh presents an example of usage of ChatGPT, which demonstrates how accessible LLMs have become for lab scientists.
At the heart of precision oncology is the need to increase our understanding and knowledge of surface proteins found on tumour cells. Here Roman Thomas, CEO of DISCO Pharmaceuticals, explains how it is using cutting-edge technology to explore the surfaceome – a map of the proteins on the cell’s surface…
Understanding how MMR-deficient colorectal cancers drive tumour growth and avoid immune detection could pave the way for personalised cancer medicine.
Human brain organoids are complex in vitro tools derived from stem cells, designed to model the molecular basis of neurodevelopment and the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. By mimicking the function of the human brain, in both health and disease, their application in drug discovery holds significant potential for identifying new…

We had the privilege of speaking to Cellarity’s CEO, Fabrice Chouraqui, about how the company is leveraging AI to completely revolutionise the drug discovery process and unlock treatments for a vast array of diseases, even in the absence of known targets.
Recently there have been a flurry of announcements from AI-led biotechs around the potential of Large Language Models (LLM) in early drug discovery. In the first of a three-part series, Dr Raminderpal Singh explores what LLMs are, how early stage biotechs can take advantage of them, and what challenges they…
Traditional wet lab scientists working on target discovery, drug identification and drug optimisation have an opportunity to catch up with their AI-enabled peers – but why should they, and how? In this article – the third of a three-part series – Dr Raminderpal Singh touches on the decisions that need…
We had the privilege of interviewing Brian Culley, CEO of Lineage Cell Therapeutics. He discusses how Lineage’s pluripotent stem cell platform is extraordinarily advantageous, details two early-stage programmes addressing auditory and vision disorders and reveals how Lineage is choosing to target conditions that will make a real difference.
As the industry looks beyond CRISPR to safely introduce therapeutic genomic changes anywhere in the body, in vivo gene editing holds immense potential to address diseases with a genetic basis. Boston-based biotech Tessera Therapeutics is pioneering the next generation of genetic medicines with its Gene Writing™ platform. At this year’s…
