Revolutionizing Drug Development with AI and Whole Genome Sequencing
The Pharmacognosy Drug Discovery and Genomics Division of the Rotger Research Foundation aims to employ the power of artificial intelligence (AI), whole genome sequencing, and pharmacognosy to revolutionize the development of novel, safe, and effective drugs. This division will explore global biodiversity to discover plant species with medicinal potential and translate them into innovative therapeutics.
Key components:
1. Global Biodiversity Exploration — ethical, sustainable sampling with local collaboration.
2. Genomic Analysis & Sequencing — uncover molecular bases of bioactivity and candidate compounds.
3. AI-Driven Discovery — virtual screening, target prediction, lead optimization.
4. Multi-omics Integration — genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics.
5. In Vitro / In Vivo Testing — rigorous, ethical evaluation of safety, efficacy, PK.
6. Clinical Trial Design — regulatory-aligned studies to ensure safety and efficacy.
7. Knowledge Sharing & Partnerships — academia, industry, and research networks.
8. Continuous R&D — refine pipelines, adopt novel methods, expand datasets.
