I am still no doctor or biologist, but I am honored now to serve on the board of directors than AXD, attend scientific conferences and raise funds to enable scientific testing of very promising research at AXD. Me – A father who simply wanted to understand what happened to their child.
Our family’s journey with AXD has been challenging, but it has also been a journey with hope. I turned to technology and found a bridge to connect with the scientific community, a group of people I would forever be grateful for and in awe of.
And in addition to several “everyday” uses, AI has incredible potential to revolutionize medicine, genetics, biology and drug discovery. Google Deepminds Alphafold, created in partnership with isomorphic laboratories, could help researchers develop new drugs and treatments through understanding and predict how proteins are folded. Isomorphic laboratories push forward in new therapeutic research by developing advanced calculation and AI methods to accelerate the drug discovery process, which can lead to biomedical breakthroughs and treatments for devastating diseases. In addition, Google recently introduced an AI-CO scientist to help accelerate scientific discoveries and find courier, including for rare diseases such as AXD. These tools allow researchers to make faster breakthroughs – especially in the thousands of rare diseases for which there is limited attention and financing.
I am grateful to the many scientists who work to help families like mine and glad that Gemini gave me the opportunity to play a productive role in promoting research. I hope it can do the same for more people.
