BenevolentAI to Present on Explainable AI for Drug Discovery at BioTechX Europe 2024

BenevolentAI ("BenevolentAI" or the "Company") (Euronext Amsterdam: BAI), a leader in applying advanced AI to accelerate biopharma drug discovery, announces that Dr James Malone, Chief Technology Officer, will hold a presentation titled "Building Trust and Explainability in using AI in Drug Discovery" at BioTechX Europe in Basel on 10 October 2024 at 11:45 AM CET. The presentation will discuss how explainable artificial intelligence can increase transparency in drug discovery, focusing on BenevolentAI's innovative R2E (Retrieve to Explain) system.

At the event, Dr Malone will illustrate the capabilities of R2E, which combines AI-driven information retrieval with explainable predictions to enhance drug target identification. The system integrates diverse biomedical data, including scientific literature, genomics, and clinical information, with AI algorithms to prioritise drug targets. By processing complex queries across the human genome and providing detailed explanations for its predictions, R2E enables researchers to make more informed decisions based on AI-generated insights.

Dr Malone will present data comparing R2E's performance against traditional approaches in predicting clinical trial outcomes. Specifically, when utilising all data modalities, R2E demonstrated a higher relative success rate in identifying promising drug targets compared to industry-leading genetics-based methods. These performance improvements demonstrate R2E's potential to significantly impact the drug discovery process, particularly in the critical areas of target identification and clinical trial success prediction.

Dr Malone's presentation follows his participation in the event's Keynote Panel, "The benefits of AI within drug discovery". The panel featured speakers including Hebe Middlemiss (Head of AI Strategy and Innovation, AstraZeneca), Venkatesh Moktali (Global Product Manager, QIAGEN), Daniel Kuhn (Director, Head of AI and New Technologies, Merck), Bulent Kiziltan (Vice President and Global Head of AI & Computational Sciences, Novartis). The panel was moderated by BenevolentAI’s Chief Business Officer & Co-Founder, Dr Ivan Griffin.

Hardman & Co Healthcare Index: 2024 – Tough year for Life Sciences

The Hardman & Co Healthcare Index (HHI) has been running since 2009. Its main function is to highlight the attractions of life sciences investments over the long term. For the third year running, despite generally good returns in global markets, particularly in the US, performance in 2024 was poor, not helped by the capital-intensive nature of the sector. The HHI fell 17.7% to 398.9, underperforming all its benchmarks – FTSE 100 (+5.7%), FTSE All-Share (5.6%) and the FTSE AIM All-Share Index (-5...
