PROJECT

This project aims at investigating machine-learning models able to identify drug-like molecules with previously unknown activity on a given cancer cell line. The most promising predictions will be experimentally validated by internal and external collaborators. The targets of the resulting phenotypic hits will be identified using existing molecular target prediction tools, including some developed in-house, to make an initial assessment of their efficacy and possible side-effects. A similar approach will be followed to identify synergetic drug combinations on a given cancer cell line. This project was funded by the competitive ANR Tremplin-ERC programme: http://www.agence-nationale-recherche.fr/en/projects-and-results/archive-of-calls-for-proposals/aap-en/tremplin-erc-t-erc-second-call-2017/
