“Drug repurposing for AML” lol

As a person who is literally doing his PhD on AML by implementing molecular subtyping, and ex-vivo drug predictions. I find this super random.

I would truly suggest our pipeline instead of random drug repurposing :)

edit: Btw we’re looking for ways to fund/commercialize our pipeline. You could contact us through the site if you’re interested!

Can you explain what you mean by subtyping and if/how it negates the usefulness of repurposing (if that’s what you meant to say). Wouldn’t subtyping complement a drug repurposing screen by allowing the scientist to test compounds against a subset of a disease?

And drug repurposing is also used for conditions with no known molecular basis like autism. You’re not suggesting its usefulness is limited in those cases right?

It's almost like scientists are doing something more than a random search over language.
