Ignota Labs rescues promising but failing drugs, bringing new life to abandoned projects and new hope to patients. More than half of all clinical trials fail due to safety issues, resulting in a staggering $400 billion annual loss and delaying life-saving treatments for patients. Their proprietary platform, SAFEPATH, uses cutting-edge deep learning to address these challenges by uncovering the mechanisms behind drug toxicity. Unlike traditional safety assessments that identify what went wrong, SAFEPATH combines cheminformatics, bioinformatics, and multimodal data analysis to explain why and how safety issues occur, delivering actionable insights to refine or repurpose drug candidates. Ignota Labs is building a robust pipeline to bring safer drugs to market faster, partnering to develop and co-develop assets that might otherwise fail, and accelerating the delivery of vital therapies to patients in need. 

Dr. Layla Hosseini-Gerami will be giving a sponsor talk at the conference.

Qi Statistics is a Statistical Training & Consultancy firm with over 20 years’ experience in training, consultancy and software development supporting all industries but specialising in food & consumer goods, the pharmaceutical industry and manufacturing R&D. We are a team of 5 core statisticians plus associate statisticians and business staff. As well as attending training courses ourselves, the team keep their knowledge up to date with advances in stats methods by attending and contributing to papers/conferences regularly. The flexibility and efficiency of our size mean we can serve both big and small companies and offer a high-quality personalised service and individual attention.

 Qi offers 3 services: Training, Statistical Consultancy and Software Development. We pride ourselves on our approach to training. Our emphasis is always on the application of statistical techniques rather than the underlying mathematics, to ensure the statistical tools are accessible to all. Mathematical details are kept to a necessary minimum and we focus on the interpretation of statistical output and illustrate applications with data from dummy trials, or published data. The objective of our training is not to teach participants how to become a statistician, but to help them work with statisticians and get the maximum value from data and statistical output.

We also offer general advice on a range of commonly requested topics, for example:

• Expert review of analysis procedures

• Advice on which method suits your objectives best

• Impartial advice on choosing software

• Input to Project Design

• Helping meet objectives efficiently and innovatively

• Generating the optimal design

• Survey and Sample Design

• Analysis of data (“big” or otherwise!)

• Interpretation of Statistical Results

 Qi also provides specialist statistical software (written and validated against industry-standard software packages such as JMP or SAS by Qi Statisticians). To reduce costs and time spent on repetitive work, we also develop automated R scripts or SAS/R routines to analyse data automatically and generate reports in the client's required company format (using Microsoft Office products).

Through innovative AI and analytics, SAS provides knowledge in the moments that matter.

SAS envision a world where everyone can make better decisions, grounded in trusted data and assisted by the productivity and speed of SAS AI and analytics. When decisions need to happen at just the right moment, you need the world’s most trustworthy analytics brand and people to give you confidence.

SAS's mission is making it easier and faster for more people to use powerful analytics shortens the path from data to insights and inspires bold new discoveries that drive progress. The result is analytics that breaks down barriers, fuels ambition and gets results in the moments that matter most.
