We use AI to find the right treatment for every patient.

About us

Owkin is an AI biotechnology company that uses AI to find the right treatment for every patient. We combine the best of human and artificial intelligence to answer the research questions shared by biopharma and academic researchers. By closing the translational gap between complex biology and new treatments, we bring new diagnostics and drugs to patients sooner. We use AI to identify new treatments, de-risk and accelerate clinical trials and build diagnostic tools. Using federated learning, a pioneering collaborative AI framework, Owkin enables partners to unlock valuable insights from siloed datasets while protecting patient privacy and securing proprietary data. Owkin was co-founded by Thomas Clozel MD, a former assistant professor in clinical onco-hematology, and Gilles Wainrib, a pioneer in the field of machine learning in biology, in 2016. Owkin has raised over $300 million and became a unicorn through investments from leading biopharma companies (Sanofi and BMS) and venture funds (Fidelity, GV and BPI, among others).

    With its ability to analyze vast amounts of structured data to characterize targets, there is no doubt that AI has been transforming the drug discovery landscape. At Owkin, we developed an LLM tool that obtains biological summaries of specific genes instantaneously and integrated it into our “biologist-in-the-loop model” to augment human expertise. Ultimately, this will help us accelerate the pace of discovery through our AI drug discovery engine, TargetMATCH. 📕 Read more about our “biologist-in-the-loop model”: https://lnkd.in/eQxRz2qi #AI #LLMs #drugdiscovery

    Earlier this month, we attended the International Spatial Biology Congress 2024, where the significance of spatial biology in drug discovery and development was a key focus. In our latest blog, we provide an overview of the discussions, highlighting the opportunities that spatial biology offers in modern drug discovery and development, as well as addressing the challenges and future directions for the field. 📕 Read the blog at https://lnkd.in/eRkcxD4R #spatialomics #drugdiscovery

    🏖️ Summer is in full swing, and we couldn’t be happier. To celebrate these sun-soaked months, we’re excited to share our Owkinautes' summer adventures. They're off on exciting journeys around the world, and we're eager to follow along! In two weeks, our Chief Marketing Officer, Darius Meadon, will head to Bali to complete his 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. He plans to use his new skills to start community yoga classes in London for people with mental health issues, those recovering from injury and long term illness, and older/vulnerable people affected by isolation. ���💛 #OwkinSummer

    Today, our latest machine learning (ML) research on the application of representation learning to RNA-seq data was published in Nature Scientific Reports. Using pan-cancer datasets (TCGA and DepMap), we assessed various models for their power to predict survival and gene essentiality, and explored the impact of various ML design choices, on the performance of the learned representations. 📕 Check out our open access publication to learn more about the results of this research: https://lnkd.in/ebp9XV72 #AI #representationlearning #RNAseq #cancerresearch

    We are excited to share our latest research introducing our new AI model, MISO (Multiscale Integration of Spatial Omics), available today as a preprint on bioRxiv & medRxiv. Trained on a new unpublished dataset of 72 10X Genomics Visium samples with corresponding digital pathology images, MISO enables near single-cell-resolution, spatially-resolved gene expression prediction from H&E-stained slides. With spatial transcriptomics remaining challenging to use routinely, our model represents a novel approach for augmenting multimodal datasets and scale up integration of spatial transcriptomics data with tumor morphology. 📑 Read our pre-print at https://lnkd.in/gsvdKk7p #AI #spatialomics
