Cognitive Bandwidth vs. Domain Complexity
• Biology is too big and complex to fit in
• We need knowledge about causation• We need knowledge systems as part of
– We don’t know what we don’t know– We don’t even know what we do know
– To my target?– To my project?– To my disease?
– .related to target biology?– .related to secondary pharmacology?
• We cannot reliably make discoveries by
• Data integration alone is insufficient• We need Systematic context-driven
• Biology domain is too big and complex to
– Browsing and correlation can’t get us there
• We need systems to generate testable
– Based on experimental results– Based on literature
• We need to use these systems to extract
– To build rationale– To identify likely risks
Generic drug discovery hypothesis structure:
“A drug against Target X will treat Disease Y”
“Show me all the diseases associated
Text-mining and data integration can provide confidence-in-rationale level
How do we know we are working on the best projects?
Statistical and ontological text-mining can be used to infer new hypotheses
– context of the pharma programme is critical
• Comprehensive assessment of target and
address perceived risks and build rationale
– Design experimental strategies to address
– Select projects with greater confidence of
• Text mining technologies can make an
