Oncology harnesses power of AI to improve cancer patient outcomes
With the global onslaught of COVID-19, scientists are
harnessing the speed and power of artificial intelligence (AI) to find
solutions. The complexity of this lethal contagion demands a rapid yet
comprehensive response, and only advanced computer systems can parse through
mountains of data sets swiftly enough to stem the pandemic. AI’s ability to
sort and sift data quickly, spot patterns and make predictions can help
identify both potential vaccines and therapeutics. Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) is utilizing
its proprietary AI solutions to understand and battle cancer – positioning the
company as an attractive option for investors looking to invest in the future
of cutting-edge medicine. These same AI solutions may be utilized to help find
COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics.
Through its subsidiary Helomics, a leader in AI and
functional precision medicine, POAI is bringing its innovative technology to
cancer research, where it’s working with the pharmaceutical, diagnostic and
biotech industries to develop predictive models of how tumors respond to drugs,
which can be used both for clinical decision support and research into new
therapies.
The power and utility of artificial intelligence was
delineated in a recent Wall Street Journal article titled
‘Biotech Companies Tap AI to Speed Path to Coronavirus Treatments’ (http://ibn.fm/iIeHT). While drug
development – from invention to clinical trials – can take more than a year,
health care industry leaders are looking to AI to identify drug prospects to
test on humans within months. POAI’s predictive models can be applied
clinically to aid patients and in the development of new drugs by researchers.
Aggressive situations like the steady spread of COVID-19,
among other fast-moving cancers and diseases, has the global community
scrambling for an expedited solution – a problem that AI-powered technology has
the potential to help solve. “[COVID-19] is a rapidly developing situation, and
we firmly believe that AI-driven experimentation is the right approach for these
kinds of problems, to speed up the process,” stated professor Robert Murphy,
Ph.D., a recognized expert in AI and computational biology. Dr. Murphy also
sits on Predictive Oncology’s advisory board and is the head of the
computational biology department in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie
Mellon University and co-founder of AI predictive-modeling company Quantitative
Medicine LLC.
In a pivotal collaborative move, Predictive Oncology has
completed a letter of intent (http://ibn.fm/VRS4a)
to acquire Quantitative Medicine and integrate its CoRE predictive modeling
platform with POAI’s massive historic database and tumor profiling expertise
with the aim of revolutionizing the way precision therapies are developed. The
acquisition will provide POAI with Quantitative Medicine’s proven machine learning
framework, CoRE. A predictive model-building platform for drug screening and
optimization campaigns, CoRE uses hybrid machine learning approaches to rapidly
build predictive models that spawn specific wet lab experiments. This
cutting-edge technology, similar in methodology to the current AI and machine
learning approaches now used in the battle against COVID-19, has the potential
to expedite POAI’s mission to use AI and machine learning to discover unique
solutions to the future of disease.
