Remarks will highlight the latest deep learning technology from Deep Genomics for
discovering RNA disease mechanisms and candidate therapeutics
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 20, 2023 Deep Genomics, a leading AI drug development company focused on decoding biology to program life-changing medicines, announced today that its founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Brendan Frey, Ph.D., F.R.S.C., will present at the 2023 Elevate Festival in Toronto on Tuesday, September 26, 2022, at 6:35 PM EST.
Brendan’s remarks, titled Beacons of Hope: AI in Medicine will highlight recent advances in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning for drug discovery. As the inventor of one of the first deep learning algorithms that helped to catapult the field forward, Brendan’s contributions to the field of AI are used in thousands of products around the world. The past three years have seen major breakthroughs in AI technology, showing promise for advances in the life sciences. Accurate predictions can now be made on how the genetics of patients can negatively alter gene expression and how molecules can provide therapeutic benefits. Brendan will share his perspective on opportunities for AI in RNA therapeutics and highlight a new innovation from the Deep Genomics team, BigRNA, that goes far beyond traditional missense variant effects, and has the potential to transform the discovery and development of RNA therapeutics.
