Monday, November 19, 2018, Rockville, MD – Insilico Medicine, a Rockville-based company developing the end-to-end drug discovery pipeline utilizing the next generation artificial intelligence is pleased to announce the talk of Polina Mamoshina, a senior research scientist at Insilico Medicine at the World's leading congress for big data in precision medicine – Biodata World Congress 2018.
The pharmaceutical industry currently generates large libraries of new chemical entities with the aim of selecting the most promising leads for the future clinical trials. Over the past several years, reports of unexpected drug-induced cardiotoxicity have led to the withdrawal of a number of drugs from the market. Being a member of the Computational Cardiovascular Science group at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford, on the 29th of November, 2018, Polina will present a joint research focused on how machine learning can be utilized for predicting a spectrum of drug-induced cardiovascular toxicities.
"Computational methods hold great potential to increase the productivity of drug discovery pipelines and could drive a more rational drug design. As the attrition rate due to cardiotoxicity remains high, there is a clear need for novel approaches capable of accommodating better safety testing. And in silico approaches that mimic response in humans could be the most promising alternative to the current preclinical testing," – said Polina Mamoshina a senior research scientist at Insilico Medicine
Biodata World 2018 brings together global heads of leading pharmaceutical companies and is created with the support of leading research institutes and the NHS. The congress will take place at Congress Center Basel, 28-29 November 2018.

Day 2 – Thursday 29th November 2018 16:00
Track 9 – PRECISION MEDICINE
Talk: Predicting drug-induced cardiotoxicity through machine learning – AI vs Cardiotoxicity
Presenter: Polina Mamoshina, a Senior Research Scientist at Insilico Medicine
Insilico Medicine is regularly publishing research papers in peer-reviewed journals. The company was first to apply the generative adversarial networks (GANs) to the generation of the new molecular structures with the specified parameters and published a seminal peer-reviewed paper submitted in June 2016. The concept was further extended and augmented with advanced memory and reinforcement learning. One of the latest papers published in the Journals of Gerontology demonstrated the application of the deep neural networks to assessing the biological age of the patients. The latest special issue in Molecular Pharmaceuticsfeatured several research papers by Insilico Medicine.
