The computational biologist Anne Carpenter creates software that brings the power of machine learning to researchers seeking answers in mountains of cell images.
“…Janssen Pharmaceutica researchers dug up images sitting around from old experiments… and found that there was often enough information in those images to predict results from other assays… This really got the attention of big pharma! Replacing a large-scale drug assay with a computational query saves millions of dollars each time.”
