Description: Many diseases are driven by metabolites -- small molecules in your body like fat, glucose and cholesterol -- but we don't know exactly what they are or how they work. Biotech entrepreneur and TED Fellow Leila Pirhaji shares her plan to build an AI-based network to characterize metabolite patterns, better understand how disease develops -- and discover more effective treatments.

The medical potential of AI and metabolites

With every line of code, a vision to save lives emerges, leveraging AI to unearth therapeutics for untreatable diseases.

AI leverages a vast metabolite database, identifying patterns that elucidate disease mechanisms and potential treatments.

ReviveMed: a start-up decoding metabolite-driven diseases like fatty liver, aiming to tailor effective therapeutics via AI.
