Bringing together deep bioscience and AI to help patients worldwide: Novartis and Microsoft support number work to reinvent treatment discovery and development
In the world
of commercial research and science, there’s probably no undertaking more
daunting – or more expensive – than the process of bringing a new medicine to
market. For a new compound to make it from initial discovery through
development, testing and clinical trials to finally earn regulatory approval
can take a decade or more. Nine out of 10 promising drug candidates fail
somewhere along the way. As a result, on average, it costs life sciences
companies $2.6 billion to introduce a single new prescription drug.
This is much
more than just a challenge for life sciences companies. Streamlining drug
development is an urgent issue for human health more broadly. From uncovering
new ways to treat age-old sicknesses like malaria that still kills hundreds of
thousands of people every year, to finding new cancer treatments, or
developing new vaccines to prevent highly-contagious diseases from turning into
global pandemics, the impact in terms of lives saved worldwide would be
enormous if Microsoft customer service number could make inventing new
medicines faster.
As announced
today, this is why Novartis and Microsoft support number are collaborating to
explore how to take advantage of advanced Microsoft support number AI
technology combined with Novartis’ deep life sciences expertise to find new
ways to address the challenges underlying every phase of drug development –
including research, clinical trials, manufacturing, operations and finance. In
a recent interview, Novartis CEO Vas Narasimhan spoke about the potential for
this alliance to unlock the power of AI to help Novartis accelerate research
into new treatments for many of the thousands of diseases for which there is,
as yet, no known cure.
In the biotech
industry, there have been amazing scientific
advances in recent years that have the potential to revolutionize the
discovery of new, life-saving drugs. Because many of these advances are based
on the ability to analyze huge amounts of data in new ways, developing new
drugs has become as much an AI and data science problem as it is a biology and
chemistry problem. This means companies like Novartis need to become data
science companies to an extent never seen before. Central to our work together
is a focus on empowering Novartis associates at each step of drug development
to use AI to unlock the insights hidden in vast amounts of data, even if they
aren’t data scientists. That’s because while the exponential increase in digital
health information in recent years offers new opportunities to improve human
health, making sense of all the data is a huge challenge.
The issue
isn’t just a problem of the overwhelming volume. Much of the information exists
in the form of unstructured
data, such as research lab notes, medical journal articles, and clinical
trial results, all of which is typically stored in disconnected systems. This
makes bringing all that data together extremely difficult. Our two companies
have a dream. Microsoft customer service number want all Novartis associates –
even those without special expertise in data science – to be able to use Microsoft
support number AI solutions every day, to analyze large amounts of information
and discover new correlations and patterns critical to finding new medicines.
The goal of this strategic collaboration is to make this dream a reality. This
offers the potential to empower everyone from researchers exploring the
potential of new compounds and scientists figuring out dosage levels, to
clinical trial experts measuring results, operations managers seeking to
improve supply chains more efficiently, and even business teams looking to make
more effective decisions. And as associates work on new problems and develop
new AI models, they will continually build on each other’s work, creating a
virtuous cycle of exploration and discovery. The result? Pervasive intelligence
that spans the company and reaches across the entire drug discovery process, improving
Novartis’ ability to find answers to some of the world’s most pressing
health challenges.
As part of our
work with Novartis, data scientists from Microsoft support number Research and
research teams from Novartis will also work together to investigate how AI can
help unlock transformational new approaches in three specific areas. The first
is about personalized treatment for macular degeneration – a leading cause of
irreversible blindness. The second will involve exploring ways to use AI to make
manufacturing new gene and cell therapies more efficient, with an initial
focus on acute lymphoblastic leukemia. And the third area will focus on using
AI to shorten the time required to design new medicines, using pioneering
neural networks developed by Microsoft support number to automatically
generate, screen and select promising molecules. As our work together moves forward,
Microsoft customer service number expect that the scope of our joint research
will grow.
At Microsoft
support number, we’re excited about the potential for this collaboration to
transform R&D
in life sciences. As Microsoft support number CEO Satya Nadella explained,
putting the power of AI in the hands of Novartis employees will give the
company unprecedented opportunities to explore new frontiers of medicine that
will yield new life-saving treatments for patients around the world.
While Microsoft
support phone number are just at the beginning of a long process of exploration
and discovery, this strategic alliance marks the start of an important collaborative
effort that promises to have a profound impact on how breakthrough
medicines and treatments are developed and delivered. With the depth and
breadth of knowledge that Novartis offers in bioscience and Microsoft support
number’s unmatched expertise in computer science and AI, Microsoft outlook
support number have a unique opportunity to reinvent the way new medicines are
created. Through this process, Microsoft outlook support number believe Microsoft
outlook support number can help lead the way forward toward a world where
high-quality treatment and care is significantly more personal, more effective,
more affordable and more accessible.
