Introduction

Integration of AI in the biotech industry has brought about a revolution in the healthcare sector. 2024 has witnessed a surge in the number of biotechnology companies utilizing artificial intelligence to streamline operations, enhance drug discovery and development, and improve patient outcomes. The use of AI in biotech has opened up new avenues for personalized medicine, predictive diagnostics, and cutting-edge research. In this article, we take a look at the top AI-enabled biotech companies leading the charge in the integration of AI and biotechnology.

What is Biotechnology?

Biotechnology is a branch of biology that uses living organisms, cells, and biological systems to develop new technologies and products. It encompasses a wide range of scientific disciplines, including genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, and chemical engineering, and it has applications in many different fields, such as agriculture, food science, medicine, and environmental protection.

In biotechnology, living organisms and biological systems are used to produce and improve products, processes, and technologies. For example, bacteria and yeast can be used to produce food ingredients, like cheese and bread, and medicines, like insulin. Biotechnology can also be used to clean up environmental pollution and to diagnose and treat diseases.

What is the most important field of biotechnology?

It’s difficult to say which field of biotechnology is the most important as it depends on individual perspectives and priorities. However, some of the most influential and impactful fields of biotechnology include:

  • Medical biotechnology: This field focuses on developing new medical treatments, therapies, and vaccines for a wide range of diseases and conditions.
  • Agricultural biotechnology: This field aims to improve crop yields, enhance resistance to pests and diseases, and increase food security.
  • Environmental biotechnology: This field uses microorganisms and other biotechnology tools to clean up contaminated sites and to develop new ways to manage waste.
  • Industrial biotechnology: This field uses biotechnology to produce chemical products, such as fuels, plastics, and textiles, in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
  • Synthetic biology: This is a relatively new field that aims to design and build new biological parts, devices, and systems and to re-engineer existing ones to perform specific tasks.

Each of these fields contributes in unique ways to solving significant problems and improving human health and well-being; all are important in their own right.

How can AI help in biotechnology?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the field of biotechnology in several ways. Some of the ways AI can help in biotechnology include:

  • Drug discovery and development: AI can help in the discovery and development of new drugs by analyzing large amounts of data and identifying new targets for drug development. It can also help in the design and optimization of clinical trials.
  • Predictive diagnostics: AI can help in the early diagnosis of diseases by analyzing patient data, such as medical images and genetic information, to identify patterns and predict the risk of disease.
  • Personalized medicine: AI can help in the development of personalized medicine by analyzing large amounts of data to identify the best treatment options for individual patients based on their genetic makeup and medical history.
  • Medical imaging: AI can help in the analysis of medical images, such as MRI and CT scans, to identify diseases and guide treatment.
  • Bioinformatics: AI can help in the analysis of large amounts of biological data, such as genomic and proteomic data, to identify new targets for drug development and to understand the underlying mechanisms of disease.

These are just a few examples of how AI can help in biotechnology, and the field is rapidly evolving, with new applications and innovations emerging all the time. By leveraging the power of AI, biotechnology has the potential to make significant contributions to human health and well-being.

  • Headquater(s): Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel
  • Funding: Seed

How do you measure impact?

Quris’ Bio-AI Clinical Prediction Platform better predicts which drug candidates will safely work in humans, avoiding the tremendous costs of failed clinical trials.

Every year 110 million mice and more than 50,000 beagles are sacrificed. Even though, animals are terrible predictors of drug safety because mice and men are very different. Nine out of 10 drugs that enter into clinical trials are failing. And as surprising, as this may sound there is no engine today, or any safety predictor that will do a good job.

At Quris AI we develop a unique model called “Patient on a chip”, which means adding human organs such as a tiny brain, a tiny liver, and a tiny heart (less than a millimeter in size) on a chip. By testing known drugs on these miniaturized patients and collecting massive data, with millions of interactions, documented by nanosensors and microscopy, we train AI to recognize the pattern that sets apart, safe drugs from non-safe drugs. This dramatically reduces the time it takes to develop a drug, saving millions of animals, and helping humans to find a drug that works.
