Conduit Bio (Previously Crossr)
The data and AI environment for precision drug discovery.
Problem
Data sources can now be generated that represent the complexity of the human body and diseases at a genetic and molecular level. However, such data sets are incredibly complex and highly connected and wet lab scientists who rely on the data don’t know the coding languages (such as R and Python) to analyse it. This creates huge organisational bottlenecks where requests need to be made to bioinformaticians, which can take on average 3 weeks to return results. The aggregate of all of these inefficiencies means opportunities are missed to create ever more precise and safe medicines for patients.
Solution
We have built a no code platform that allows a wet lab scientist to conduct analysis of knowledge graphs/ experimental data and view outputs of recommender and ML algorithms in one space. The highly connected data infrastructure and user friendly interface allows a scientist to gain insights rapidly without context shift between databases or clunky analytics tools. This reduces time to insight 100X and paves the way for teams to speed up their R&D exponentially driving more precision medicines to patients faster. We believe we can save pharmaceutical companies 10,000s of scientist/bioinformatician hours and over £1M in costs.
