PathAI and Bristol Myers Squibb Expand AI Pact in Drug Discovery and Development

AI pathology specialist PathAI has announced a multi-year expanded collaboration agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb. The initial work within this extended agreement will focus on key translational research in oncology, fibrosis, and immunology, with an overall goal to forward these into clinical trials. PathAI develops quantitative pathology algorithms for drug discovery and development. "We look forward to collaborating with PathAI to expand the potential application of AI in the drug development process to include translational research, clinical trials, and diagnostic advancements," said Robert Plenge, MD, PhD, senior vice president of Bristol Myers Squibb, head of Immunology, Cardiovascular, and Fibrosis Thematic Research Center, and head of Translational Medicine. "We feel that PathAI will be a productive collaborator given digital pathology represents a growing area for BMS, PathAI is a leader in the field, and the fact that we have a long-standing productive relationship with the company," he added.
