Novartis, Microsoft team up to establish AI innovation lab

Novartis AG selected Microsoft Corp. as its artificial intelligence and data science partner to establish a new lab.

Under the collaboration, the companies will establish joint working environments at the Novartis Campus in Switzerland, Novartis Global Service Center in Dublin and Microsoft Research Lab in the U.K.

The Novartis AI innovation lab will focus on developing AI capabilities in two core areas: AI empowerment and AI exploration. The former aims to enable companywide access to AI technologies, while the latter addresses the most difficult computational challenges in drug development and production.

The investment for the collaboration will include project funding, subject-matter experts, technology and tools, Novartis noted in an Oct. 1 press release. Initially, research activities will target vision loss in old people, cell and gene therapy, and drug design.

Microsoft also entered a similar partnership with Oxford BioMedica PLC in March to help improve the quantity and quality of gene therapy vectors using cloud and machine learning technologies.
