AI Saves a Life with New Discovery

AI just saved a life! A groundbreaking AI algorithm helped uncover a hidden treatment for a rare and deadly disease—idiopathic multicentric Castleman’s disease (iMCD). Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania used AI to analyze 4,000 existing medications, leading to a life-saving discovery! With rare diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans, pharmaceutical companies often don’t invest in expensive research. But this game-changing AI found an FDA-approved monoclonal antibody, originally used for arthritis and Crohn’s disease, that could treat iMCD.
