Predicting Novel Crosstalks in Oncology using Knowledge Graphs

What the AI Co-Scientist Paper Actually Demonstrates for Biologists and Data Scientists

May 12, 2026
9 AM PT

Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) shows up in up to 30% of CRPC patients. With a median survival of just seven months and limited treatment options, the clinical need is urgent. However, the conventional data-drive approaches to drug discovery fall short here - there simply isn't enough high-quality, publicly available datasets on this aggressive subtype to train standard models or confidently identify new targets.

To bypass this bottleneck, we are taking a different approach.

Instead of looking at data-scarce diseases like NEPC in isolation, we're mapping the mechanistic overlap with other cancers where data is abundant. By using that overlap, we can surface high-confidence drug repurposing candidates. Biomedical knowledge graphs (BKGs) are uniquely equipped to solve this exact problem.

In this session, we’ll walk through how this works in practice.

We’ll demonstrate how Polly Knowledge Graphs (KGs) pull together 20+ curated sources to bridge the data gap. Using our no-code interface, we will show a streamlined Target ID workflow: querying the graph to find genes that share the exact same essentiality profiles as known cancer drivers. By mapping these shared functional relationships, we can identify new therapeutic targets and instantly match them with existing drugs ready for repurposing.

Real-World Applications We’ll Cover

  • Scaling clinico-genomic data integration: Large pharmaceutical organizations working with external data providers used Polly to build interoperable clinico-genomic data products 6x faster.
    Although purchased datasets are often labeled as "clean," they still lack interoperability—Polly's pipelines bridge this gap with robust integration and harmonization.

  • Information Retrieval: Drug safety monitoring teams used Polly's Knowledge Graph powered co-scientist to conversationally retrieve the right cohorts & assess drug response—cutting discovery time by 70%.

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at a Multi-agent AI system that achieves:
  • 93% recall across 23 key metadata fields including tissue, disease, cell line, donor ID, and treatment.
  • Outperformance of GPT-4.1 single-pass prompting on accuracy, F1 score, and traceability.
  • Curation of 4652 samples from 78 GEO datasets in days instead of weeks.
  • 4x reduction in manual effort equivalent to replacing a 3-person expert team working for 1 month.
  • Human-level accuracy, with 100% concordance on disease and 97% on gender based on CellxGene benchmarks.
  • Traceable records with field-level evidence attribution and confidence scores.
Register for our webinar to see how the Agentic AI system fits into scalable data workflows.

What You’ll Learn

  • Overcoming Data Scarcity: How to move beyond isolated, limited datasets by mapping millions of biological interactions to infer cancer behavior.
  • Finding “Essentiality Twins”: How to discover hidden therapeutic targets by looking for genes that share the similar essentiality profiles as known cancer drivers.
  • Mapping Hidden Networks: Real-world examples of uncovering complex regulatory cross-talk to surface high-confidence drug repurposing candidates.
  • The "Target Hopping" Strategy: Bypass undruggable drivers and target their easier-to-drug functional partners instead.

Why This Matters for Biomedical Researchers

Adopting a Data-Centric and OOD-aware approach is essential for delivering real therapeutic impact.

If you’re working with complex biological data, you may be asking:

  • Can generative AI truly assist in scientific reasoning, not just data analysis?

  • What does it mean for hypothesis generation, literature review, or even designing experiments?

  • Could this accelerate—not replace—my discovery pipeline?

Whether you're skeptical, curious, or already experimenting with AI in your lab—this is a session designed to ground your understanding in evidence, not speculation.

  • Fast-Track Drug Repurposing: Cut years off your discovery timeline and save millions in R&D costs by confidently matching newly mapped targets with existing, approved therapeutics.
  • No-Code Accessibility: Democratizes complex network analysis, allowing researchers to derive deep biological insights without writing code.
  • Faster Pipeline: Reduces time spent manually synthesizing literature and siloed omics datasets , accelerating early-stage R&D.
  • Create a Scalable Blueprint: Apply this data-centric framework to accelerate Target ID across other cancers in your portfolio.
