Quris Technologies Ltd. (Quris-AI) and Merck KGaA have extended their collaboration after a successful initial preclinical study of Quris-AI’s BioAI drug safety platform.

Deep Genomics Inc. has introduced its artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model for RNA, BigRNA, which enables discovery of disease mechanisms and candidate therapeutics.

A new gene editing method uses the CRISPR technique to modify the cells of an organ in vivo, creating a mosaic used to identify the effects of each altered gene. Scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich developed this technology called AAV-Perturb-seq, based on adeno-associated virus (AAV) to target, edit and analyze single-cell genetic perturbations.

Orionis Biosciences BV has established a multiyear collaboration with Genentech Inc., a member of the Roche Group, to discover novel small-molecule molecular glues for targets in major disease areas, including oncology and neurodegeneration.

Peptidream Inc. has entered into a new multitarget collaboration and license agreement with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, focused on the discovery and development of novel macrocyclic peptide-radioisotope drug conjugates.

Benevolentai Ltd. has signed a strategic collaboration with Merck KGaA to identify novel drug candidates, initially for three targets in oncology, neurology and immunology.

Proteome analysis with artificial intelligence has made it possible to create a catalog of all possible missense mutations in the human genome to predict diseases.

Proteome analysis with artificial intelligence has made it possible to create a catalog of all possible missense mutations in the human genome to predict diseases. The new Alphamissense tool from the technology company Google Deepmind, available online, will allow scientists to refine diagnoses and design more tailored treatment strategies for patients suffering from pathologies associated with these variants.

Dewpoint Therapeutics Inc. and Chemify Ltd. have partnered to develop a suite of digitally discovered and automatically synthesized novel molecules on Chemify’s programmable chemistry platform against condensate targets of interest in Dewpoint’s oncology and neurodegeneration pipeline.

Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. has reported progress across its research and development portfolio, including early-stage product candidates.
