3 Ways Single-Cell Sequencing and AI are Transforming Kidney Transplantation
Posted 27th November 2019 by Liv Sewell
Transplantation is now a successful therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The first successful kidney transplantation happened in Boston in 1954 and the procedure is now routine clinical practice in more than 80 countries worldwide.
Ishita Moghe and Kim Solez outline some of the major strides taken in kidney pathology and transplantation through the use of scRNA-seq and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Bioprocess digital twins are an exciting new technology that changes the way we do bioprocess development, process validation, and cGMP operations.
From data to discovery – the journey to digital innovation
Posted 3rd October 2018 by Jane Williams
Digital innovation in healthcare promises much. But potential and realisation are two very different things.
Researchers at Stanford in the US, for example, have developed an AI algorithm designed to diagnose skin cancer[1]. AI diagnosis was compared with that of 21 dermatologists and it matched the efficacy of its human counterparts. This has significant implications for patients, particularly those who find it difficult to access healthcare professionals. But the implications don’t stop there.
Big data, knowing and AI: do they influence drug discovery?

The quest for magic bullets started with Paul Ehrlich. He wanted to target the syphilis bacteria without harming the patients, which led to Salvarsan. Ehrlich was a foundational thinker, and we owe him modern concepts such as receptor and pharmacophore. His impact on the field – seeking the ideal molecules – pervades drug discovery.
