E129 | Leveraging Wastewater and AI to Predict Population Health Threats

AI For Pharma Growth

In this episode, Dr. Andree Bates speaks to Mariana Matus, the co-founder and CEO of Biobot, a company that is transforming wastewater infrastructure into public health observatories.

Mariana explains the concept of wastewater epidemiology, where wastewater samples from communities are collected and analysed for various disease indicators, including COVID-19, influenza, and substances of concern like fentanyl and cocaine.

She also discusses how AI plays a crucial role in Biobot's work, allowing them to interpolate and model data for regions where they do not have primary data collection, thereby providing comprehensive coverage.

In this episode you will learn:

• What wastewater epidemiology is and how Biobot is transforming it into a public health observatory
• The role of AI in Biobot's data collection, analysis, and modelling
• How Biobot is collaborating with the public sector, academia, and the pharmaceutical industry
