Discover
We combine cutting-edge machine learning and biology to advance drug discovery.
Our substantial increase in the understanding of cancer has not yet led to better treatments for patients.
Challenges
How can we move from understanding the disease to discovering the treatment?
Disease heterogeneity
No two cancers are the same. From environmental factors to genetics, patients are all different, making it difficult to develop effective treatments.
Each cancer evolves differently
Cancer unfolds in a variety of ways across patients, calling for a personalized approach.
Under-utilization of knowledge
Researchers lack the powerful tools required to fully harness the vast potential of untapped scientific insights.

Owkin’s solution
We leverage our expert multimodal data access and deploy state-of-the-art, interpretable AI to refine our understanding of diseases to develop biomarkers and identify new drug targets. In addition, we build AI tools that match historical and emerging research to identify new drug combinations and opportunities for drug repurposing.

Biomarkers
We develop interpretable AI models to identify clinically relevant biomarkers from multimodal data, such as omics, imaging, histology and clinical data.
Find out moreStratification (predictive) biomarkers
These biomarkers predict the best treatment for each patient by analyzing subgroups of good and bad responders. → To better predict the response to treatment, create surrogate markers and to steer research for future targets.
Find out moreRisk-score (prognostic) biomarkers
These biomarkers predict the course of the disease in a patient (outcome, overall survival, metastatic relapse). → To inform therapeutic decisions, accelerate clinical trial enrolment and design more accurate translational and early-stage trials.
Find out moreScreening (diagnostic) biomarkers
These biomarkers help us identify patients with a particular disease characteristic. → To define and accelerate clinical trial enrolment.

Drug target identification
We combine our expertise in AI and biology to fully interpret histogenomic biomarkers. This helps us discover and rank genes and proteins within the innovative drug target potential.
