More than 200 AI-designed drugs are now in clinical development. Phase I success rates for AI-discovered compounds are running between 80% and 90%, roughly double the historical average. The first fully AI-designed drug has posted positive Phase IIa efficacy data in humans. And in the
Every breakthrough drug has an invisible army behind it. Not just the scientists in lab coats or the executives signing deals — but the platforms, tools, and service companies that form the infrastructure of modern drug development. From the AI systems designing molecules to the
What Is a Biomarker: Modern medicine runs on measurement. Before treating a disease, you need to detect it. Before knowing if a drug works, you need to track its effects. Before predicting who will respond to therapy, you need signals that distinguish responders from non-responders.
Device innovation, diagnostics, tools, and platforms redefining patient care.
Not every drug works for every patient. In oncology, response rates to targeted therapies often range from 20% to 40% in unselected populations. The majority of patients receive treatments that won’t help them — exposing them to side effects without benefit. Companion diagnostics change this
