insitro Director, Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Arijit Bhowmick, Ph.D., discusses the rapid growth of the oligo field with David McCall and Nucleic Acid Insights. He outlines key milestones in the last decade, explains how oligos are enabling next-generation medicines and describes the advantages they offer specifically for insitro’s platform using #AI and #ML. “Our platform not only allows us to get an unprecedented insight into the transcriptomic and phenotypic effect of knocking down a target, but it also allows us to investigate off-target effects thoroughly,” notes Dr. Bhowmick.

Making medicines differently to bring better drugs faster to the patients who benefit most with ML and data at scale.
About us
insitro is a data-driven drug discovery and development company that leverages machine learning and high-throughput biology to transform the way medicines are created to help patients. At insitro, we are rethinking the entire drug discovery process, from the perspective of machine learning, human genetics, and high-throughput, quantitative biology. Over the past five decades, we have seen the development of new medicines becoming increasingly more difficult and expensive, leaving many patients with significant unmet need. We’re embarking on a new approach to drug development – one that leverages machine learning and unique in vitro strategies for modeling disease state and designing new therapeutic interventions. We aim to eliminate key bottlenecks in traditional drug discovery, so we can help more people sooner and at a much lower cost to the patient and the healthcare industry. We believe that by harnessing the power of technology to interrogate and measure human biology, we can have a major impact on many diseases. We invest heavily in cutting edge bioengineering technologies to enable the construction of large-scale, high-quality data sets that are designed specifically to drive machine learning methods. Our first application is to use human genetics, functional genomics, and machine learning to build a new generation of in vitro human cell-derived disease models whose response to perturbation is designed to be predictive of human clinical outcomes. This cannot be done without great people. We are bringing together an outstanding team of people whose expertise spans multiple disciplines - life sciences, machine learning, human genetics, engineering, and drug discovery - and building a unique culture where people from diverse backgrounds work as a single team towards a common goal. We offer opportunities to collaborative people with expertise in life science and computational science. Join us to help bring better health to more people, faster and cheaper.

Today marks our six-year anniversary! We recently reflected on our progress and the opportunity ahead at our annual in vivo week, a signature event run by and for insitrocytes to learn, collaborate, and innovate. This year we set a new bar for inspiring scientific advances, progress in our ML models, moving keynote sessions, creative connections, and a little bit of healthy competition. There were six takeaways that stood out and propel us forward. Read more below. ⬇
