They Have Advanced Knowledge of the Innovative Approaches to ML Modeling
For a new drug molecule synthesis, molecule configurations of other drugs are used. To determine which drugs to use in the synthesis procedure, it is necessary to determine which target proteins are needed to be affected by the treatment. The procedure for searching for such candidate proteins was as follows. First, for the selected cancer disease, a data set is collected, in which patients are used as objects, attributes are corresponding to the level of expression of a particular gene on a DNA-microarray, and the presence or absence of a cancer for a given patient is used as a label. Then, from several tens of thousands of genes, one hundred genes that are most significant for the cancer label prediction are selected. This allows a list of one hundred candidate proteins to be generated which are then used for a manual patent research.
What was the project name that you have worked with Serokell?
AI Development for Healthcare Company
What service was provided as part of the project?
Artificial Intelligence
Describe your project in brief
Together with Serokell we were working on the models for automated feature engineering problems that were used for cancer medical drugs synthesis tasks. The goal was to reduce the time spent on building models for drug discovery. They developed an algorithm that we used for DNA-microarray data analysis. The proposed method used standard dimensionality reduction measures with integrated measures built on top of various lists of genes we already have.
