Identifying true targets in oncology

Jan-Jaap Verhoef

Imuno is pioneering the power of machine learning to build a structure-based discovery engine to identify cancer-specific epitopes that can be exploited by novel therapeutic strategies. Our discovery engine not only identifies epitopes that are 100% unique to a patient’s tumor, it selects those have the best properties for therapeutic targeting.

AI as a service for bioscience and drug research

Erwin Haas

Landscape is a Dutch data science company that believes we can build an awesome and positive future with data and AI, when we focus on value (for humans), don’t over- or underestimate it and keep it responsible and explainable. They do data science projects, build AI-solutions and give workshops for multiple sectors, with an increasing focus on Bioscience, where there is a lot of potential for machine learning given the amount of data. This potential is what we’ll be going into today.
