Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Gero Pte Ltd. have entered into a joint research and license agreement to develop novel therapies for age-related diseases. Chugai will create novel antibody-drug candidates for new drug targets discovered by Gero using its AI target discovery platform.
The U.K. government revealed its much anticipated 10-year plan to get the National Health Service back on its feet and fit for the future. It is betting on five technologies – data, AI, Genomics, wearables and robotics – to drive the change needed to transform the health care system.
The U.K. Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency opened a second round in its AI airlock program although this round, like the first round, will be limited to four applicants.
South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on June 9 approved Vuno Inc’s AI-based Med-DeepECG Kidney software as a non-invasive method to screen for kidney dysfunction.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc. have released an open-source AI model that can predict the binding strength of small molecules as well as structures of proteins and biomolecular complexes. The model, which is called Boltz-2 and was released by the research team on the developer platform Github on June 6, addresses a major bottleneck in drug discovery with its improved ability to predict binding strengths.
The European Commission is seeking feedback from stakeholders on the oversight of high-risk AI products, one objective of which is to develop a series of guidelines for classification of high-risk AI systems – a consideration of great interest to med-tech firms doing business in the EU.

Aiatella Oy secured €2 million (US$2.28 million) in funding for its AI-powered cardiovascular imaging technology. The funds will be used to conduct clinical trials and develop the company’s ultrasound-based preventative screening tool, which detects and quantifies carotid artery narrowing in minutes.
Scientists at Shanghai Tech University have used the scaffold-hopping artificial intelligence model Geminimol to identify N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor ligands that show selectivity and specificity. The researchers found that GM-10 could be a potent inhibitor of the GluN1/GluN3A subunits of the NMDA receptor, demonstrating the utility of this technique to develop new drugs.
The U.S. FDA reported the launch of its in-house generative AI (GenAI) tool, dubbed Elsa, for a variety of purposes. FDA commissioner Marty Makary assuaged industry’s privacy concerns by promising that the algorithm does not train on data submitted by makers of devices and pharmaceuticals.
