LAS VEGAS - October 27, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Dr. Andrea Small-Howard, President and Chief Science Officer of Gb Sciences (GBLX-OTC), a leading plant-inspired, biopharmaceutical research and drug development company, is demonstrating their AI-enabled drug discovery engines' ability to identify novel plant-inspired pharmaceuticals today at the 10th Annual Drug Discovery Strategic Summit in San Francisco, California. In her session entitled "The Use of an AI-enabled Drug Discovery Engine to Identify Plant-Inspired Pharmaceuticals," Dr. Small-Howard will introduce PhAROS, Gb Sciences' proprietary AI-enabled drug discovery platform. Dr. Small-Howard will also present case studies establishing how the company has utilized PhAROS to combine information from plant-based medical systems with modern in silico drug discovery tools that identify novel plant-inspired therapies for treating critical medical needs. 

"Gb Sciences is combining knowledge from plant-based traditional medical systems with modern in silico drug discovery tools. We are leveraging our AI-enabled platform with its unique database of known traditional medical plant species to uncover novel minimum essential mixtures of ingredients with therapeutic benefits and reduced side effect profiles. Our AI-enabled drug discovery platform also reduces the time and money needed to get results," said Dr. Andrea Small-Howard. "With current drug discovery efforts failing to deliver on some critical medical needs, such as non-opioid treatments for chronic pain or novel options for patients suffering with anxiety and depression, we are establishing the value in exploring plants associated with traditional medicines to discover new drug molecules and simplified mixtures."

Dr. Andrea Small-Howard of Gb Sciences was recently featured on MarketScale's "IDC with Kevin Stevenson" podcast in an episode entitled "Bringing Medicines to Market Faster Through Analytics and Machine Learning" where she discussed the need for digital transformation in the biopharma industry and the fact that Gb Sciences is ahead of the majority of the industry through the development and use of their PhAROS platform for drug discovery.
