According to the Biovista website:
"Biovista is a pioneer of AI and systematic drug repositioning…[their] scientists use Biovista's technology platform to analyze massive data resources and identify non-obvious, mechanism-of-action based associations between compounds, molecular targets and diseases. [They] use this insight to find new uses for existing drugs or drug combinations, assess their risk profile and advance them to PoC and Clinical Phase IIa/b sooner, cheaper, and with a higher probability of success than has been possible to date."
Rita's research activities, as part of her Stanley White Scholarship, are in graph analytics on High Performance Computing infrastructure. Rita said of her meeting, "They shared with me how Biovista's graph-based database was designed, which is similar to the topic of my research with Dr. Wheat in the Fall, as well as some of the problems they have encountered with its design. This gave me a bit of insight into some of the problems I may encounter in the Fall and gave me a head start to produce algorithmic solutions to help the project. They were kind enough to treat us to an authentic Greek lunch as well as the opportunity to help them in future projects."
Rita will be a sophomore Computer Science major at ORU in the Fall of 2022.
