Novartis and Microsoft announced they are joining forces to apply artificial intelligence to some of the most intractable problems in healthcare, in one of the most expansive tie-ups so far between big pharma and big tech.
Vas Narasimhan, Novartis’ chief executive, suggested Tuesday that AI could hold particular promise in the field of personalized medicine, helping to identify subgroups of patients most likely to benefit from new treatments.The pharmaceutical industry, initially slow to recognize the potential of digital technologies, has been picking up the pace in recent years, with companies including GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi exploring how big data can accelerate research and development.
The companies will initially focus on three areas: tackling personalized therapies for the eye disease macular degeneration; cell and gene therapy; and drug design.Joint research will take place at the Novartis campus in Switzerland and the company’s global service center in Dublin, Ireland. It will also involve Microsoft’s research labs in Cambridge, England, under Christopher Bishop, one of the U.K.’s foremost machine learning experts.
