Turning science into business: Merging AI and RNA

Drug Discovery World

DDW’s Diana Spencer speaks to Raphael Townshend PhD, Founder and CEO of Atomic AI, about the company’s successes so far, plans for the future and the unique approach of combining RNA structural biology and AI models. These two factors together made it evident that a business was the best solution versus an academic research project.

A Protein Printer

Codon

All cells make proteins in two steps: DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA, which is then translated into protein. It is the untouchable foundation of molecular biology. The ribosome is a molecular printer that threads ‘beads’ onto a protein string. This is simple. And we want to subvert this.

Women in Stem August: Meet Theonie Anastassiadis

Drug Target Review

Another challenge I faced was to determine what field or subject to focus my PhD on, since so many fields interested me and even cancer biology is so broad. Once I decided to pursue cancer research, I explored subfields within it by working at Fox Chase Cancer Center for a couple years, which resulted in authoring a couple of papers.

Synthetic biology tools advancing and accelerating drug discovery efforts

Drug Discovery World

As such, the synthesis of DNA oligonucleotides for routine molecular biology applications is often outsourced to service provider companies that operate DNA synthesisers to meet these demands. . This process can be drawn-out, expensive, and time and resource-intensive, often slowing down the momentum of a research study. .

Goodsell, Scripps Research and RCSB Protein Data Bank. And for another study, researchers engineered bacteriophage T4 to target and deliver payloads to human cells , simply by swapping around the proteins on their outer shells and then coating them in positively-charged lipid molecules. “Every query is like $2.” in Nature.
