Welcome to episode 490 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 guests are Theonie Anastassiadis, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer & Stephen Eichhorn, Principal Scientist at Alltrna. Founded in 2018, Alltrna is the world’s first tRNA platform company to decipher tRNA biology and pioneer tRNA therapeutics to treat thousands of diseases. The company has an unprecedented opportunity to advance a single tRNA medicine to restore disrupted protein production, regardless of target, for thousands of diseases with the same underlying genetic mutation.

Alltrna have successfully applied machine learning to reveal the unique language of tRNA biology. This language is larger than the number of atoms in the universe and turns powerful biology into programmable medicines. Their first-in-field platform integrates learnings across tRNA biology and the modality space to unlock tRNA’s full therapeutic potential and design tRNA oligos with desired therapeutic properties.

In today’s episode, Theonie and Stephen talk about:
