The Future of TechBio 26


 
TechBio Origins: Point Solutions Most BioTech companies have built a point solution - they’ve developed a tool, process, model or analysis to accomplish an important step in drug discovery. This is how we started too. But discovering and developing medicines requires hundreds of steps… 27


 
As these point solutions evolve they increase in complexity and scale We manipulate human cells with CRISPR/Cas9- mediated gene knockouts, compounds, and other reagents Phenom-1 Groundbreaking models trained on >1 billion images and hundreds of millions of parameters learn to extract biologically meaningful signals from cell images FOUNDATION MODELS Diverse biological and chemical inputs PROFILING SYSTEMS Our highly automated wet-labs systematically capture images of human cells in response to different perturbations High-throughput screening AUTOMATION Maps of Biology & Chemistry DIGITIZATION >50 human cell types ~2M physical compounds Whole-genome CRISPR knockouts Models infer relationships between all possible combinations of genes and compounds, recapitulating known biology and revealing novel insights across multiple biological and chemical contexts >5 trillion relationships conducted every week 2.2M experiments Phenomics Up to 28


 
To truly industrialize drug discovery, point solutions must be integrated as modules across many diverse steps 29


 
Each module is complex, and we continuously improve them Prioritize compound synthesis for compounds predicted to have high likelihood of suitable pharmacokinetics DMPK In Vivo Validation Establish in vitro-in vivo and in silico-in vivo correlations to minimize experimental toil. ANIMAL PHARMACOKINETICSPre-synthesis Evaluation ENRICH FOR QUALITY A highly automated DMPK module executes 3 critical assays across human and rat contexts. HT ADME Experiments WET LAB Leverage Recursion’s power for structure-based prediction of in vitro assays and in vivo compound profiles Predictive Models LEARNING CYCLES 30


 
Utilizing each module requires specialized teams and expertise InVivomic prioritization Digitized data collection yields real-time, continuous, and non-invasive data recorded in the animal’s home cage. Data generates high-dimensional assays, and ML connects studies for productivity. Overall, there is a drastic reduction in time, labor, and cost. Industrialized program progression GOING DIGITAL Compound optimization DETERMINING DOSAGE Not tolerated Tolerated ML evaluation of mice against >10 liabilities. Rat and mouse studies with ML-based selection of optimal compound and dose from video. Speed to insight, including tolerability liability Faster readouts for critical studies SPEED & EFFICIENCY 31


 
We continuously add new modules to improve the Recursion OS The Tempus data is computed and ML oncology models run on BioHive-1, Recursion’s in-house supercomputer. BioHive-1 will be expanded into a top 50 supercomputer in 2024 in partnership with Nvidia. ML trained on Tempus data BioHive-1 supercomputer COMPUTE The Tempus partnership provides Recursion with preferential access to multi-modal data for >100,000 oncology patients totaling over 20 PB. >20 PB of real-world patient data DATASET We are using Tempus’ scaled multimodal real-world patient data to train AI models for target discovery, biomarker development, and patient selection. Combining forward & reverse genetics APPROACH 32


 
The result is a palette of ever-evolving sophisticated modules 33


 


 
The Recursion OS is now more than a collection of point solutions accessible to expert users …it is increasingly integrated and accessible via a Discovery User Interface that can be used by any of our scientists from the comfort of their laptop… 35
