8. © 2015 IBM Corporation 8 IBM Cloud: Think it. Build it. Tap into it. Baylor College of Medicine mines science papers to make new discoveries Business Need •  While well-studied, p53 is implicated in many cancers, and there is still a need to uncover new relationships between p53 gene, protein, chemicals, and bio-mechanisms •  Needed a solution to build, extract, and understand key entities from the literature, such as chemicals, genes, proteins, profiles, relationships, ontologies, networks Watson Benefits •  Mined the literature and retrieve specific gene interactions, and display them for study •  Mapped and discovered relationships between p53 and relevant genes and networks •  Validated current p53 knowledge and, at a rate much faster than current methods, revealed new unknown interactions for further analysis

Tap into it. 9 9 Client interested in repurposing drugs for other conditions, including the treatment of malaria Business Need •  It took 10 of their scientists 14 months of research to identify 12 potential candidates for the treatment of malaria •  The process of discovery needed to be accelerated Watson Benefits •  In just a few weeks, Watson uncovered evidence of 11 candidates that could effect the pathway involved in malaria •  Of the 11 candidates found, 6 matched those the company identified •  The 5 additional candidates were some that the company had never considered, and are currently under investigation
10. © 2015 IBM Corporation 10 IBM Cloud: Think it. Build it. Tap into it. 10 10 Client interested in extracting key information in toxicology reports to help inform new candidate safety assessment Business Need •  Valuable information in toxicology reports is locked in long sections of text •  Hundreds of these reports exist but there is no easy way to extract the knowledge they contain to provide insight into the safety of a new drug candidate Watson Benefits •  Watson successfully extracted the information associated with compound safety and toxicity •  Watson demonstrated it can unlock critical safety information from a large volume of toxicology reports and their associated notes
11. © 2015 IBM Corporation 11 IBM Cloud: Think it. Build it. Tap into it. 11 11 Janssen sought to quickly perform a robust comparison of treatments Business Need •  Across 3,000 studies, Janssen wanted to improve the sophistication and speed of the comparison of multiple treatments against each other •  Assembling the correct data from 1,000s of clinical trials to effectively compare efficacy and safety of multiple potential treatments for a disease or condition •  Current process is manual, slow, expensive and prone to error Watson Benefits •  Watson accelerated the gathering of data from 1,000s of trials to minutes instead of months •  Watson will enable researchers to analyze the effectiveness and safety of various treatments for different populations of patients
