3Brain AG releases 'groundbreaking' technology to maximize drug discovery trial success
3Brain AG has announced a new technology based on a combination of microchips and artificial intelligence (AI) that promises to change the way drug candidates are selected at the preclinical level to enter into clinical trials.
CorePlate technology allows the harvesting of big data on drug candidates before testing on humans to increase the chance of pharmaceutical success, says the company.
Using this groundbreaking technology, preclinical cell assays are performed in multiwell plates that integrate a microchip in each well to collect rich information from cells, pre-process cell data and streamline it to the paired software. As a result, much more and better data can be extracted, which enables researchers to discover more information about drugs being tested, said the developer.
"We want to radically change the way preclinical drug screening is performed, offering pharmaceutical companies the opportunity to manage their pipelines more efficiently," said Mauro Gandolfo, CEO and co-founder of 3Brain AG. "Basically, we take traditional plastic multiwell plates and we turn them into intelligent devices with multi-core processing power, which can be programmed according to research needs. Integrated intelligence is a remarkable distinction from other instruments in the preclinical space. Importantly, despite the large amounts of data CorePlate devices can process, the user can still easily generate results thanks to the AI-driven interpretation of data. With the CorePlate technology, pharmaceutical companies can save time and money by better filtering and prioritizing drug candidates. Our ultimate goal is to provide our users with tools that help them more readily identify new cures for diseases."
