By: SMi Group Snapshot of Andreas' interview: Can you tell us a little bit about your background in data-driven drug discovery informatics and your work in the field? "I started working on cheminformatics in 1999, during the previous 'biotech boom', in a start up close to Berlin, did a PhD in the field in Cambridge. Afterwards I was happy to do an industrial postdoc with Novartis in Boston (where I learned about the complexity of biological high-content screening readouts), and for the last 12 years I have been a group leader in Leiden/The Netherlands, and Cambridge/UK. We work quite a lot with pharma and biotech companies and also started two companies ourselves - Healx and Pharmenable - so I would describe our work as quite applied." In your opinion, how does AI improve drug discovery and what are the potential areas where AI would be applicable? "AI depends on data, and data depends on labels. Mostly you can only (relatively) For the full interview and speaker line-up, the brochure is available to download online.
