Biopharmaceutical company Poolbeg Pharma said it has successfully used artificial intelligence to identify a number of potential drug targets in the treatment of influenza, dramatically reducing the time taken to previously do so.
Poolbeg hailed the work with CytoReason as a “significant breakthrough”. The companies have been working together since March 2022, with Poolbeg combining its unique disease progression data from influenza human challenge trials and CytoReason’s repositories of curated disease data, analysing the data using the AI-led platform.
