Aiforia Signs Agreement With South Korean Biotech Company to Augment Its Novel Drug Discovery Platform With AI

Aiforia and Genuv will collaborate to to integrate Aiforia’s deep learning AI into Genuv’s ATRIVIEW discovery platform for neurodegenerative diseases.
The two companies announced an agreement to add Aiforia’s artificial intelligence technology to Genuv’s ATRIVIEW proprietary drug discovery platform, used to screen both existing drugs and new substances for neuroprotective and neuroregenerative effects. ATRIVIEW was used to discover Genuv’s leading drug candidate, SNR1611, which has shown the ability to restore CNS function in preclinical models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s Disease.

ATRIVIEW AI will seamlessly incorporate Aiforia’s AI software to speed up and automate image analysis, normally a time-consuming step with traditional methodologies, to allow for efficient analysis of multiple biomarkers while minimizing the chance of human error in R&D studies. This marks the first time that Aiforia’s technology is being used for differentiating the stages of stem cell development in the brain; an important application in the preclinical investigation of various neurological disorders.
