few examples of the possible use cases of NNaaS in the pharmaceutical industry
🧪 Accelerating Drug Discovery with AI
Problem Statement
Drug development takes 10+ years and $2.6B per approved drug. NNaaS slashes timelines by predicting drug efficacy, toxicity, and patient responses using AI.
Key Use Cases
1. Drug Candidate Screening
Use Case: Identify promising compounds for diseases ( Alzheimer’s, cancer).
How NNaaS Works:
Data Input: Upload genomic data, chemical structures (SMILES format), or clinical trial datasets.
Model Training: Train GNNs (Graph Neural Networks) on protein-ligand binding.
Predictions: Rank compounds by efficacy/toxicity ( "Compound #83: 92% binding affinity, low hepatotoxicity").
Outcome:
50% Faster Screening: Identify top 0.1% candidates in days rather than months.
2. Clinical Trial Optimization
Use Case: Predict patient dropout rates and adverse reactions.
How NNaaS Works:
Data Input: Historical trial data + real-time patient vitals (wearables).
Model Training: RNNs analyze temporal patient data.
Predictions: Flag high-risk cohorts + adjust dosages.
Outcome:
30% Lower Trial Costs: Reduce patient recruitment failures.
Faster FDA Approval: 20% shorter Phase III trials.
3. Personalized Medicine
Use Case: Tailor treatments based on patient genomics.
How NNaaS Works:
Data Input: Upload DNA sequencing + electronic health records.
Model Training: CNNs identify mutation-drug response links.
Predictions: Recommend therapies (e.g., "Patient #441: Responds best to Drug X + Y combo").
Outcome:
45% Higher Treatment Efficacy in oncology trials.
4. Side Effect Prediction
Use Case: Forecast drug interactions and adverse effects.
How NNaaS Works:
Data Input: Molecular structures + metabolic pathways.
Model Training: Transformers cross-analyze 10M+ PubMed papers.
Predictions: Alert on risks (e.g., "Drug A + B: High renal toxicity risk").
Outcome:
Avoid 80% of Late-Stage Failures due to safety issues.
NNaaS Features for Pharma
Pre-Built Models:
Toxicity predictor, polypharmacy analyzer.
Collaboration Tools:
HIPAA-compliant workspaces for CROs, universities, hospitals.
Deployment:
Export models to lab equipment (e.g., PCR machines).
Key Takeaways
Speed to Market: Cut drug development from 10 years to <5.
Cost Reduction: Save $Millions+ per approved drug.
Patient Impact: Life-saving therapies reach market faster.
