Adaptation of deep learning to biotechnology/life science industry

PFN conducts R&D and drive commercialization of deep learning application for omics analysis, medical image analysis, and drug discovery.

  • omics analysis: early cancer detection using miRNA
  • medical image analysis: disease identification using X-ray, CT and MRI images
  • Drug discovery: structure-based screening of potential compounds

We continue to expand and accelerate our research efforts in the field of Biomedical and Life Sciences.
