Computational Drug Discovery in 24 Hours
We asked FoxFlow to computationally design a microbiome-based intervention for Parkinson's Disease prevention. Here's what happened.
Parkinson's is the fastest-growing neurological disorder in the world. Cases have doubled in the past 25 years. By 2040, they're projected to double again.
Every current treatment only manages symptoms. By the time patients are diagnosed, 60-80% of their dopamine neurons are already dead.
We've been fighting this war in the wrong place. The disease doesn't start in the brain.
We weren't looking for Parkinson's. We were building AI infrastructure to analyze microbiome data at scale. The discovery found us.
Our AI swarm doesn't guess β it reads. 33 million abstracts. 2.1 billion connections. When 250 million agents agree on something, you pay attention.
Constipation precedes tremors by 10-20 years. The pathology starts in the gut and climbs the vagus nerve to the brain. Cut the nerve? Disease never spreads. The science has been there β nobody had connected the dots at scale.
Instead of guessing which bacteria matter, we simulated the entire intervention cascade using only published parameters. The simulation told us exactly when the intervention should work β Day 15. Now we test it.
