Targeted Therapy and AI

To see how the drugs affect pathogens, lab cultures have been used by the researchers. However, the process is time consuming. Instead, the DNA sequence of the pathogenic organism is used. There are mutants too whose sequencing can be done. They develop algorithms for different drugs. They try to see how they best match the organism. The AI system quickly identifies the form of organism and the drug which best acts against it. Traditionally, it is a trial and error method. And this is done faster than the existing gold standard of lab cultures. It takes a few months to do lab culture. Here we arrive at the solution in a few hours.

The technique helps the oncologists to target the malignant cells accurately. AI is also used in neurology to process brain signals. It is used to diagnose dementia and its progress. It points to whether the psychosis patient is progressing to schizophrenia.

The therapy can also be used in antibiotic resistant pathogens.
