BioNTech use artificial intelligence to develop COVID-19 therapeutics and vaccines
CompanyDecember 2020
InstaDeep, London, United Kingdom
The biopharmaceutical company BioNTech and the Artificial Intelligence (AI) product developer InstaDeep collaborate by using AI and machine learning to discover decoy proteins with a potentially higher binding affinity than that of the human receptor, which the coronavirus uses to attack cells. Such proteins would prevent the sequence of events leading to the release of the viral genome and viral replication. In the future, the two companies will work together to discover and develop novel immunotherapies like mRNA-based vaccines.
