HACARUS DD

Drug Discovery Support AI platform

Enabling a smarter approach to drug discovery

Our AI platform supports drug discovery researchers by streamlining image analysis. HACARUS's original AI technology builds highly interpretable AI without using big data. By combining the knowledge of drug discovery researchers with AI, we will contribute to the realization of a more efficient and rapid drug discovery process.

Phenotypic screening support AI


Faster and clearer AI that supports phenotypic screening

Cell image analysis is essential for phenotypic screening. HACARUS DD, which utilizes sparse modeling technology, solves problems that could not be solved by conventional analysis methods.



Conventional AI Approach


It takes time to evaluate and determine the effects of new candidate drugs because it is necessary to create different AI for each drug.


I don't know what features of the image influenced the determination of reaction

HACARUS Approach


One AI model trained from images of a normal control group can be used for multiple candidate drugs. Evaluation and judgment time is shorter than the conventional approach.


By presenting changes in image characteristics due to experiments, we can obtain hints on the mechanism of action of drugs.
