Foundation models for neurodegenerative diseases
Foundation models offer the opportunity to understand complex and chronic conditions for the development of novel prognostics and therapeutic targets. When driven by specific biological and clinical questions, we show that appropriate data sets with novelties in modeling allow us to improve clinical outcomes and hypothesize novel mechanisms for new therapeutics for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
AI and Data Sciences Showcase:
Prima Mente
Prima Mente is a frontier biology AI lab. We generate our own data, build general purpose biological foundation models, and translate discoveries into research and clinical outcomes.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2026 Silicon Valley
The PMWC 2026 AI Company Showcase will provide a 15-30 minute time slot for selected AI companies to present their latest technologies to an audience of leading investors, potential clients, and partners. We will hear from companies building technologies that expedite the pre-clinical and clinical drug discovery and development process, accelerate patient diagnosis and treatment, or develop scalable systems framework to make AI and deep/machine learning a reality.
