Epsiode 27:  AI in drug development – Expanding the option space

In episode 27 of We’re doomed, We’re saved , the bio revolution podcast  Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow talk about the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in drug discovery and development. The pharma industry is struggling with high development costs and failure rates. Can AI help to overcome those challenges, and what is hype and what is reality?

Epsiode 26:  The future of medicine - trends, technologies and skills

In episode 26 of We’re doomed we’re saved we talk about the future trends in medicine, such as technologization, virtualization, predictive orientation and patient centration. These trends are corroborated by new technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), telemedicine, wearable devices and smart sensors.

Epsiode 25: 1.5 years of LLMs - hope, hype and hallucination

Epsiode 25:  1.5 years of LLMs - hope, hype and hallucination

In episode 25 of We’re doomed we’re saved we talk to idalab founder and mathematician, Paul von Bünau we discuss the promise and challenges of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the biomedical field and ask the question if we can ever stop them from hallucinating.

Epsiode 24: Artificial intelligence - hope for rare desease patients?

Epsiode 24: Artificial intelligence - hope for rare desease patients?

Rare or orphan diseases affect only a small percentage of the population and often lack effective treatments. While rare individually, in total, more than 350 million people worldwide live with rare diseases. Many of these are very hard to diagnose, let alone cure, and the rarity of patients challenges the development of novel treatments.

To make the development of drugs for rare diseases more efficient and successful, artificial intelligence (AI) could be an important ally not only for drug makers but also for patients.

Epsiode 23: New biotechnologies: revolution or evolution?

Epsiode 23: New biotechnologies: revolution or evolution?

A revolution driven by novel biotechnologies (gene editing, neuroprosthetics, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence in biotech) has the potential to not only change the way we live but the very foundations of our lives – our biology.

But is the so-called biorevolution a real "scientific revolution"?

In the new episode of "We're Doomed, We're Saved," Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow look at the biorevolution from different angles, examining its transformative potential and comparing it to revolutions that came before.
