Title: Accelerating drug discovery with high-throughput phenotypic screening and deep learning

Abstract: The application of deep learning to massive datasets is revolutionizing technologies and industries. At Recursion, we are working to do the same for drug discovery. In this talk, I will introduce the drug discovery process, and describe how we apply deep learning to images of cells produced in our own automated, high-throughput laboratories to construct maps of biological relationships between genes and drugs. These maps are the key ingredient in how we accelerate important parts of drug discovery.
