Our take
Discovering new drugs is essential in improving how diseases are treated, but existing methods are outdated. Many diseases are highly complex and have so far been impossible to treat with drugs, but developments in AI-driven computing present the potential to change this.
Relay Therapeutics provides an AI-driven drug discovery platform called Dynamo that uses cutting-edge experimental computational approaches to identify disease treatments that have previously been deemed untreatable. The platform's AI approach is driven by a pipeline of therapeutic candidates which hold an initial focus on precision oncology and genetic disease treatment.
AI is being used within the medical industry to aid in a wide variety of scenarios such as facility optimization and automated diagnoses, but Relay Therapeutics has smartly applied it to drug discovery. Through this more targeted approach, the company aims to rapidly develop genetic disease treatments and optimize the process of precision oncology, with plans to expand into further disciplines in the future. It's continued development of new products shows that Relay is keeping up the pace.
