Developing a Mechanism-Informed AI Collaborator for Biomedical Research

Impact

With millions of Europeans affected by chronic and rare diseases, AIRIS addresses a major need for faster and more effective biomedical innovation. The AIRIS AI collaborator will help researchers turn complex biomedical data into actionable insights, accelerating discovery and supporting research towards better-targeted prevention, diagnosis and treatment, with potential applications in drug discovery, precision diagnostics and clinical decision support. Potentially bringing lifesaving innovations to patients faster.

Accelerating Scientific Discovery

AIRIS aims to shorten the path from complex biomedical data to testable scientific hypotheses by combining Generative AI with causal and mechanistic modelling across biological scales. This can support more biologically plausible and interpretable models of disease, helping researchers investigate disease progression, treatment response, biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Validated across diverse, high-impact biomedical use cases, these approaches will demonstrate their scientific and translational value while supporting more accurate prediction of disease progression and treatment response.
