AI Target Discovery

Project Overview 

Identifying therapeutic targets from patient data is often slow and uncertain, especially when disease biology is complex. Fine-tuned transformer models trained on disease-specific transcriptomics can predict how perturbing each gene would shift cells toward a healthier state. This enables rapid, data-driven target discovery and prioritization for downstream validation.

Services Provided

  • Fine-tuning of transformer architectures (e.g. Geneformer, scFoundation) on disease-specific datasets.
  • Development of pipelines for a transcriptome-wide perturbation analysis using the fine-tuned models.
  • Provide interpretable model outputs that explain which genes, pathways, or patient-specific features drive the predicted targets.

Deliverables & Benefits

  • Ranked lists of potential therapeutic targets.
  • Target prioritization through integration with public knowledge bases.
  • Expert-level advice for taking the next steps in wet-lab validation.
