Acesion Pharma and Quotient Sciences Partner on AI Drug Formulation

The partnership integrates Quotient Sciences' AI-driven tools into its existing Translational Pharmaceutics platform. By applying Bayesian optimization and active machine learning, the system identifies and prioritizes drug formulations with the highest probability of clinical success. For Acesion, this means streamlining the path for its SK channel inhibitors, which aim to provide safer and more effective alternatives to current atrial fibrillation therapies.

Dr. Andrew Lewis, Chief Scientific Officer at Quotient Sciences, noted that the integration is intended to sharpen decision-making during the critical early stages of development. Dr. Elisabeth V. Carstensen, Vice President of CMC at Acesion, added that the approach could significantly shorten timelines for clinical testing. As the industry faces pressure to reduce the risks associated with cardiovascular drug development, the move highlights a broader shift toward using predictive algorithms to navigate the complexities of long-term cardiac care.
