Grifols (MCE:GRF, MCE:GRF.P, NASDAQ:GRFS), a global healthcare
company and leading manufacturer of plasma-derived medicines that
has been enhancing people’s health and well-being for more than 110
years, today has announced a collaboration agreement with Google
Cloud to harness its powerful technologies such as artificial
intelligence (AI) to greatly accelerate the development of new
Grifols biopharma medicines.
AI featuring large language models will be
applied across the drug-development life cycle, including
identifying potential therapeutic candidates and managing clinical
trial programs, to significantly reduce the time required to bring
novel treatments to market.
Fundamental to this will be a new Grifols
scientific information platform with deep Grifols-owned internal
and external data sets that can be rapidly mined for insights on
diseases and pharmacology. Discovering disease-identifying
biomarkers at an early stage can lead to more effective treatments
for patients. It can also surface trends among specific cohorts,
yielding more personalized medicine and individual care regimens
while greatly enhancing health outcomes.
Grifols will explore new applications and use
cases for data and AI in the biopharma sector. It will also work
with Google Cloud on sharing best practices in innovation including
new technologies, prototype quick testing and rapid scaling.
Reenergized Grifols internal processes will enhance team agility,
lift productivity and reinforce a culture of innovation.
“Grifols will reinvent biopharma medicine as we
know it so we can bring more treatments to more patients in more
parts of the world,” said Albert Grifols Coma-Cros, Grifols Chief
Scientific Innovation Officer. “Turbocharging our extensive
knowledge of biopharma and plasma science with the most advanced
data technologies from Google Cloud will benefit patients and
society.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Grifols to help
the company accelerate its R&D efforts and improve patient
care," said Isaac Hernández, GM of Google Cloud Iberia. "Our data
and generative AI capabilities can help Grifols glean new insights,
accelerate the discovery of new drugs and therapies, and improve
the efficiency of its manufacturing processes."
