Recursion
Recursion combines automated cell assays with image recognition to find patterns that can yield new drug candidates.
About
In automated laboratories, Recursion produces large numbers of microscopic images of cells treated with disease models and chemical compounds. Machine learning models convert these images into measurable profiles and search for unexpected relationships between biology and potential treatments. The platform has delivered candidates for clinical research, but that is not the same as a proven or approved medicine.
AI factor
Human researchers cannot compare such volumes of cell images one by one. Image recognition makes subtle patterns measurable and helps rank many possible compounds; scientists then decide which hypotheses and candidates to test further.
