Intro

This week, we’re joined by Jakob Steinfeldt, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Pheiron, and Honorary Research Fellow at University College London. Jakob and his team are working to create the ‘GPS’ for drug development, using causal insights to identify highly-informed drug targets, with the aim of accelerating clinical trials and revolutionising researchers’ ability to classify highly-relevant patients. Join Patrick and Jakob as they discuss the transition from academia to the world of start-ups, exactly why machine learning has so much potential, and how Pheiron is utilising human data to help get high-impact treatments to patients faster.
