The Podcast

Welcome to episode 518 of the AI in Action podcast, the show where we break down the hype and explore the impact that Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are making on our everyday lives.

Powered by Alldus International, our goal is to share with you the insights of technologists and data science enthusiasts to showcase the excellent work that is being done within AI in North America and Europe.

Today’s guest is Drew Linsley, Co-Founder and CEO at Operant Biopharma. Operant Biopharma’s AI-powered robotic microscope learns to design drugs by watching and controlling diseases over time.  Their platform autonomously designs biological experiments, discovering and optimizing disease treatments. The company focuses on high-need areas like neurodegenerative and kidney diseases, aiming to horizontally address multiple indications and out-license discoveries, blending AI and biology for innovative therapeutic development.

Drew is also an Assistant Professor (Research) in Computational Neuroscience and AI at Brown University. He studies biological and artificial intelligence, and believes we need artificial vision to create intelligent machines capable of reasoning about the world. However, existing artificial vision systems struggle with many visual challenges that we routinely solve in our daily lives. He looks to biological vision to inspire new solutions to these challenges in artificial vision.

In this episode, Drew talks about:

Applying AI to analyze disease data and guide therapeutics autonomously

How Robotic microscopy tracks dynamic biology to aid disease treatment advancements

How AI optimizes drug discovery pipeline & manipulates cellular states for treatment

Applying AI to drive horizontal drug development for diverse indications

Their unique staffing needs within AI, biology and neuroscience
