About
Relation is pioneering a “Lab-in-the-Loop” that can integrate active learning at every step of drug discovery, from predicting cell states to the validation of new targets. An important challenge for any therapeutics company using machine learning is “ground-truth data,” or information known to be true. Working from real cells provided by proprietary biobanks, Relation’s technology generates genomic data that provide direct insights into critical biological relationships that are fed directly into its ML systems. The platform then requests new experiments to improve its predictive ability, cutting through an otherwise intractable combinatorial space.
