FY 2022-23 · 2023-01-09
Summary
BenchSci enables pre-clinical pharmaceutical research scientists to select experimental reagents and model systems based on the documented history of experiments. As history contains a very large number of documented experiments, a “search” can result in a huge number of results. Many factors play into every drug development experiment, making the selection between all options difficult. Today, BenchSci uses a simple historic popularity ranking and this project will replace this ranking with a new ranking that incorporates as many experimental design factors as possible enabled by an ML model. This should create a significantly more accurate ranking without requiring an explicit understanding of every factor in a successful selection.

Description
BenchSci enables pre-clinical pharmaceutical research scientists to select experimental reagents and model systems based on the documented history of experiments. As history contains a very large number of documented experiments, a “search” can result in a huge number of results. Many factors play into every drug development experiment, making the selection between all options difficult.

Description (French)
BenchSci permet aux chercheurs en recherche pharmaceutique préclinique de sélectionner des réactifs expérimentaux et des systèmes modèles sur la base de l’historique documenté des expériences. Comme l’historique contient un très grand nombre d’expériences documentées, une «recherche» peut aboutir à un très grand nombre de résultats. De nombreux facteurs entrent en jeu dans chaque expérience de développement de médicaments, ce qui rend difficile la sélection entre toutes les options. Aujourd’hui, BenchSci utilise un simple classement historique de popularité et ce projet remplacera ce classement par un nouveau classement qui incorpore autant de facteurs de conception expérimentale que possible grâce à un modèle AA. Cela devrait permettre d’obtenir un classement nettement plus précis sans qu’il soit nécessaire de comprendre explicitement tous les facteurs d’une sélection réussie.
