💊 The data differentiator in AI drug discovery. A new article in @GENbio looks at the critical role of data infrastructure in AI drug discovery to address three interconnected challenges: “capturing molecular complexity in machine-readable formats, implementing FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data principles at scale, and preparing datasets through collaboration-centric platforms.” Referencing @xiaofei_lin’s interview with Najat Khan, the story notes that Recursion is focused on delivering clinical value via “superior preclinical execution” and an AI-enabled platform that supports the “Design-Make-Test-Analyze (DMTA) cycle—the fundamental, iterative four-stage workflow in pharmaceutical R&D to progress therapeutic intellectual property into drugs.” High-quality, fit-for-purpose data is critical. “Machine learning models learn from data, and their effectiveness depends entirely on the quality of that input,” the story notes. “Feed them clean, well-structured data, and they can identify subtle SAR patterns that complement human intuition.” 👉 Read more: genengnews.com/topics/artific…

🧬Solving the scale mismatch in AI drug discovery. TechBio is very good at measuring and simulating biology at the single-cell level, from predicting protein structures, to mapping transcriptomic shifts, to modelling cellular responses. But it’s much more challenging to connect those insights to the full complexity of patients, and design drugs more likely to succeed in the clinic. At the upcoming @SynBioBeta Synthetic Biology Summit, May 4-7 in San Jose, leading experts in pharma and TechBio will tackle the translation gap in modern drug development in a panel called “From Cells to Patients: Solving the Scale Mismatch in Virtual Biology” happening on the mainstage May 5, 11am. 🔹 Speakers include:  ▪️ Dave Hallett - CSO, Recursion ▪️ Marc Tessier-Lavigne - CEO, @Xaira_Thera ▪️ Kim Branson, SVP Global Head, AI & ML, @GSK ▪️ @Ronalfa, Cofounder & CEO, @NOETIK_ai 🔹 They’ll address:  ▪️ How to connect single-cell dynamics to organ-level physiology and actual patient outcomes. ▪️ How to leverage spatial and high-dimensional phenotypic data to preserve biological context. ▪️ How to build integrated computational-experimental loops that turn cellular signals into clinically meaningful biomarkers. 👉 Learn more and register at: syntheticbiologysummit.com

💊 Where AI is delivering in drug discovery today. A recent story by Peter Sullivan in @axios looked at how AI-led drug discovery and design is changing everything from pharma to federal policies. He notes that its being applied to “shorten development times, lower costs and predict chemical properties that humans don't have time to examine.” Recursion CEO and President Najat Khan shared that drug discovery is actively moving from an artisanal “to a much more systematic approach." The story notes that Recursion “reported positive data in December from a trial of its drug candidate to treat a rare genetic condition that can lead to colon cancer” – the first clinical validation of our AI platform. And it’s only the beginning, as the @US_FDA adjusts its guidelines to meet the AI moment, and companies like Recursion continue to integrate new data layers and uncover new biology using AI and machine learning. As Najat said: "There's going to be some skeptics, but they will come around once they see data.” 👉 Read more: axios.com/newsletters/ax…

🚀AI’s current proof points in drug discovery – and the next frontier In an interview with The @BioCentury Show, Recursion CEO and President Najat Khan, PhD talked to executive editor @SelinaMKoch about the differentiators to look for as the TechBio industry matures. “The bar and the standard is evolving around ‘what is the endgame?’” Najat says. “And the endgame is to make differentiated medicines that matter…no matter what dataset you have, what model you have, or what approaches you’re using.” She points out that while many early stage companies are focused on building models, Recursion is in the next stage of its evolution: delivering proof points. That requires an end-to-end approach, she says. “It's not enough to be better in just biology, chemistry, or the clinic. You have to use AI across the entire vertical tech stack.” Najat shares how she sees AI’s most measurable early advantages emerging in chemistry and clinical trial execution. In ClinTech, Najat notes that Recursion is applying AI to improve patient stratification, drive smarter trial design, and accelerate enrollment. The next frontier, she says, is “out-of-domain” prediction — the ability for models to make useful inferences in less-charted biological terrain. 👉 Listen to the full podcast here: lnkd.in/eeDsbAZB

At @siliconslopes, Recursion Chief Business Officer Matt Kinn spoke to @Nasdaq's @kristinaayanian about Recursion’s differentiated approach and strategic advantages. 🔹 Three highlights: 1️⃣ Recursion’s end-to-end platform is a major differentiator. Matt noted that Recursion has been focused on creating proprietary data because “there are not very many well-curated data sets for biology and chemistry that exist” and “AI is only as good as the data that it's trained on.” In addition, the company has a leading supercomputer and “bilingual” experts who can navigate biology, chemistry and tech. He added that Recursion has deployed those advantages “across drug discovery – how we design molecules, and how we push programs into the clinic.” 2️⃣ The platform has delivered numerous proof points, including recent Phase 1b/2 clinical trial results for FAP, a rare disorder characterized by polyps in the GI tract. “The clinical trial readout showed that our molecule was able to rapidly and durably reduce overall polyp burden. It's an incredible benefit for patients.” 3️⃣ He called out Recursion’s three key priorities: “translating more insights into impact in the clinic,” “doubling down on places where our platform is showing real advantage,” and “pairing our big ambition with discipline.”

The future of drug discovery requires an integrated, disciplined, data-driven, end-to-end approach. Last week, Recursion CFO Ben Taylor sat down at the 46th Annual TD Cowen Health Care Conference to discuss Recursion’s evolution, pipeline, and partnerships. 💡 A few key takeaways: 🌐 The Evolution of the Recursion OS: We’ve transitioned from a single-point solution focused on phenotypic screening to a fully integrated platform spanning biology, chemistry, and clinical trial design. ▪️ Ben: "Across the company we're saying, 'What can I use to better understand the biology, the patient, the chemistry, the clinical trial so that I'm incorporating better predictive modeling and have a lower failure rate in the clinic?'" ⚡ Accelerating Clinical Trials with ClinTech: By leveraging real-world evidence and our ClinTech platform, we are identifying the right patients and sites with unprecedented speed. ▪️ Ben: "We've seen enrollment going 30% to 50% faster than the baseline that we had previously... we're able to dive in and understand every one of the clinical sites, the patient population, and design our outreach to reach those sites that have the most potential." 🔬 Scientific & Financial Discipline: Under the leadership of CEO Najat Khan, we have reduced our operating expenses significantly while expanding our pipeline — driven by a strict, portfolio-management approach to our assets. ▪️ Ben: "Everything has a near-term go, no-go decision that will be data-driven. If we don't see the data supporting what we want, it will be terminated tomorrow. And that is something that we will hold to." 🤝 The Power of Partnerships: We’re not only developing an internal pipeline, but generating significant value alongside partners like Roche and Sanofi. ▪️ Ben: "If you look at our partnership business, we've crossed the $500 million mark in inflows coming into the company. That's really making a dramatic difference in how we're able to build and invest in the platform." 👉 Listen to the full webcast: ir.recursion.com/events/event-d…

A story in @GeneOnlineNews looks at the new “show the proof” era of AI drug discovery and how Recursion is delivering. “The question confronting AI drug discovery companies is no longer whether algorithms can generate hypotheses, but whether they can deliver clinical outcomes.” The story looks at Recursion’s REC-4881 program for the rare disease Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), which is demonstrating meaningful results in patients in the ongoing Phase 2 trial. “In a sector often defined by computational ambition and platform potential, such data offers a more concrete measure of clinical progress.” It highlights the critical role of the Recursion platform in making the initial discovery. “Rather than beginning with a predefined molecular target, Recursion first engineered APC-deficient cells to computationally define the disease phenotype itself. High-content imaging captured subtle morphological changes invisible to the human eye, which were then translated into quantifiable disease signatures through proprietary computer vision systems and foundation models. Thousands of compounds were screened against this phenotype to determine which could restore cellular equilibrium.” “We weren’t looking for a specific pathway,” says Recursion CEO and President Najat Khan, PhD. “We were asking which compound could actually correct the disease state.” The article also highlights the importance of Recursion’s ClinTech approach to advancing and expanding the trial – leveraging more than 300 million de-identified patient lives in the U.S. and a custom LLM to scan 256,000 physician notes linked to roughly 1,000 FAP patients, establishing real-world standards of care in near real time. This was enhanced via a collaboration with Amsterdam UMC, tapping one of the most comprehensive FAP registries to create a robust natural history study for disease context. As the story notes, “Recursion’s integrated platform aims to do more than discover new molecules. It seeks to shorten the torching journey from a patient’s first symptom to effective treatment. Khan summarizes the mission succinctly and firmly: ‘Right diagnosis, right therapy, at the right time.’” 👉 Read more: geneonline.com/recursion-make…

💡 How Recursion is helping to solve a key drug discovery bottleneck: ADMET prediction  📣 We recently announced the launch of the ADMET Network with @apheris_AI – a federated data network designed for pharmaceutical companies to collaboratively train models for absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) predictions without sharing proprietary data.  Other founding companies include: Lundbeck, Orion Pharma, and @Servier. Accurate ADMET modelling is one of the most challenging areas in drug discovery, accounting for an estimated 40–45% of clinical attrition. Developing accurate ADMET prediction models requires access to high-quality data spanning a broad and diverse chemical space.  The ADMET Network enables pharma companies to collaboratively train robust ADMET models with an expanded applicability domain, better reflecting industrial discovery needs. By bringing together highly diverse proprietary ADMET datasets across members, it is assembling one of the largest distributed ADMET data foundations in the industry.  “At Recursion, we apply AI end-to-end across drug discovery and development, with a deliberate focus on the bottlenecks in R&D where failure rates are highest,” says Najat Khan, CEO and President of Recursion. “ADMET remains one of the most persistent challenges in translating novel discoveries into successful medicines. By participating in the ADMET Network, we can materially improve the reliability of our early predictions by learning from a broader set of industry data—without compromising data ownership or IP. It’s a powerful example of how industry collaboration can accelerate innovation with real impact, helping deliver more medicines that matter.” 👉 Read about the ADMET Network in @GENbio: genengnews.com/topics/artific…
