Known Medicine Announces BioTech Breakthrough Award for “Best Use of Artificial Intelligence in BioTech 2022”

Known Medicine was selected out of a pool of 1,350 nominations worldwide.

SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#TheFutureIsKnown–Known Medicine, a rising biotechnology company, has been awarded the prestigious “Best Use of Artificial Intelligence in BioTech 2022” by BioTech Breakthrough Awards.

Known Medicine is building the world’s largest purpose-built 3-dimensional (3D) cell culture dataset with millions of images of patient cancer cells responding to hundreds of drugs and combinations. Their machine learning-based analysis relies on high-content images of these 3D micro-tumors to better understand why cells respond to one treatment over another. Functional outcomes are combined with high dimensional -omics datasets to identify the best patients for existing drugs, and the best new drug candidates. Their ability to capture patient-to-patient variability allows us to narrow the drug discovery funnel to identify a best-in-class molecule. Additionally, they were recently recognized by VentureBeat, who named Known Medicine as the recipient of their AI Innovators award. This award spotlights a startup that holds great promise for making an impact with its AI innovation.
