Machine Learning Blueprints for Pharma Discovery Breakthroughs - Abhishek Pandey - #11

In this talk, Murat speaks with Abhishek Pandey, Principle Research Scientist and Pharma Discovery Group Lead at AbbVie.

Abhishek currently leads RAIDERS, a Pharma Discovery group integrating machine learning across all of AbbVie's working groups to augment drug discovery capabilities. Abhishek's groups work spans cheminformatics, imaging research, multi-omics, as well as the computation behind many of AbbVie's current partnerships and collaborations.

We'll be exploring how the machine learning group is transforming the processes across multiple working groups at the pharmaceutical giant, AbbVie. We'll also be unravelling the story of how Abhishek began his pioneering work at AbbVie.

You will learn:

• About Abhishek's strategy for bridging chemistry, biology and computer science expertise to integrate machine learning across AbbVie's pharma discovery processes.
• About Abhishek's vision for the future of drug discovery, as we explore the pressing needs of the pharmaceutical industry from both a technical and social standpoint.

About Abhishek:

Abhishek started his career as a software engineer at Toshiba. Following this, Abhishek began his PhD in medical engineering and image processing at the University of Arizona. This led Abhishek to become a core member of the precision medicine AI team at Tempus, developing ways to improve cancer imaging pipelines to help oncologists detect cancers more efficiently. Abhishek then joined AbbVie, where he founded the machine learning / deep learning team - the influence of which has expanded across the entire company.
