Making medicines differently to bring better drugs faster to the patients who benefit most with ML and data at scale.
About us
insitro is a data-driven drug discovery and development company that leverages machine learning and high-throughput biology to transform the way medicines are created to help patients. At insitro, we are rethinking the entire drug discovery process, from the perspective of machine learning, human genetics, and high-throughput, quantitative biology. Over the past five decades, we have seen the development of new medicines becoming increasingly more difficult and expensive, leaving many patients with significant unmet need. We’re embarking on a new approach to drug development – one that leverages machine learning and unique in vitro strategies for modeling disease state and designing new therapeutic interventions. We aim to eliminate key bottlenecks in traditional drug discovery, so we can help more people sooner and at a much lower cost to the patient and the healthcare industry. We believe that by harnessing the power of technology to interrogate and measure human biology, we can have a major impact on many diseases. We invest heavily in cutting edge bioengineering technologies to enable the construction of large-scale, high-quality data sets that are designed specifically to drive machine learning methods. Our first application is to use human genetics, functional genomics, and machine learning to build a new generation of in vitro human cell-derived disease models whose response to perturbation is designed to be predictive of human clinical outcomes. This cannot be done without great people. We are bringing together an outstanding team of people whose expertise spans multiple disciplines - life sciences, machine learning, human genetics, engineering, and drug discovery - and building a unique culture where people from diverse backgrounds work as a single team towards a common goal. We offer opportunities to collaborative people with expertise in life science and computational science. Join us to help bring better health to more people, faster and cheaper.

“In parallel to the AI revolution that was visible to many… there was a revolution that I think is not quite as visible to the general public – which is that of [new] tools in the life sciences that enable the creation of massive data at scale.” insitro founder and CEO, Daphne Koller recently joined CPP Investments | Investissements RPC to share insights she’s learned from building insitro, as well as the inspiration and goals behind her vision of combining #machinelearning and #AI with human and cellular biologic data at scale. Listen below for more from Daphne on the evolution of #AI and how insitro operates within this unique ecosystem to drive innovation for patients.
Daphne Koller founded insitro with the audacious goal to use the power of AI to revolutionize drug discovery. Don’t miss her interview with Paul McCracken, Managing Director Growth Equity and Nadeem Janmohamed , Managing Director Active Equities North America, in the latest edition of the Insights Institute newsletter. https://lnkd.in/g4pemRfp

insitrocyte Srinivasan Sivanandan, Senior Machine Learning Scientist, will be at #ICLR24 this week presenting, "Channel Vision Transformer: An Image Is Worth 1 x 16 x 16 Words," which was published alongside Yujia Bao and Theofanis Karaletsos. Vision Transformer (ViT), a “powerful architecture in the realm of modern computer vision,” sets the benchmark for image representation. However, unique challenges arise when using ViTs in highly multiplexed imaging settings with sparse availability of channels such as microscopy and satellite imaging. In response to these challenges, we introduced ChannelViT and Hierarchical Channel Sampling (HCS) as modifications to the traditional ViT architecture. The novel modification presented provides greater interpretability, powerful regularization and robustness when only a subset of the imaging channels are available. We demonstrate the improved performance of ChannelViT on ImageNet, microscopy cell imaging, and satellite imaging. For more details, be sure to check out our poster presentation Wednesday, May 8 at 10:45 a.m. CEST in Vienna, Austria. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ehi4gr9G
