At GSK we see a world in which advanced applications of machine learning and AI will allow us to develop novel therapies to existing diseases and to quickly respond to emerging or changing diseases with personalized drugs, driving better outcomes at reduced cost with fewer side effects. It is an ambitious vision that will require the development of products and solutions at the cutting edge of machine learning and AI. If that excites you, we'd love to chat.
The AI/ML Clinical Development team is responsible for creating AI/ML applications to support the development of GSK’s assets (Pharma and Vaccine), from early to later-stage development, aligned with GSK’s strategy of “software for every asset.” Solutions range from response prediction to complex biomarker models, utilizing multimodal data such as computational pathology, electronic health records and RNAseq data. This holistic approach allows AIML to develop models ahead of time, validated with clinical development data, for improving medicines. Such models have the potential to be transformative in drug development, empowering us to find new life saving medicines.
