Transcripta Bio announced a research collaboration with Microsoft Research to accelerate the discovery of disease-gene associations using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and large-scale transcriptomic data. This collaboration brings together Transcripta Bio’s proprietary Drug-Gene Atlas, which contains over a billion gene responses and full-transcriptome data, and Microsoft Research’s machine learning expertise with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic opportunities faster and with more certainty than conventional methods.

Transcripta Bio and Microsoft Research will analyze chemotranscriptomic datasets with a primary goal to identify candidate disease-gene associations supported by experimental evidence of gene expression modulation. The teams hope to accelerate the path from discovery to clinical candidate selection, with the potential for fast-tracking and delivering new therapies to patients more efficiently.

Dr. Chris Moxham, Co-founder and CEO of Transcripta Bio, commented: “This collaboration with Microsoft Research enables us to scale our transcriptomics-driven approach, leveraging Microsoft’s computational resources and AI expertise. Together, we are setting a new standard for the speed, certainty, and efficiency of drug discovery.”
