研究実績の概要 |
This project aims to predict compounds for inducing cardiac differentiation of stem cells using data science. During FY2022, we created a series of regression models which can predict whether small organic molecules can be used as WNT inhibitors in a cardiac differentiation protocol. In FY2023, we extended this work as follows: (i) minor tweaking of model performance by introducing thermodynamically averaged descriptors; (ii) development of a new random sensitivity analysis technique for assessing model robustness to overtraining; (iii) prediction of several new compounds for use as WNT inhibitors; (iv) synthesis and experimental verification of one of these compounds when used in a real iPS stem cell differentiation protocol.

理由
The project was delayed during FY2020 and FY2021 due to pandemic-related travel barriers, as well as the loss of a stem cell laboratory at our institute, which prevented us from acquiring data early in the project. However, after acquiring an existing data set in early FY2021 we could swiftly progress through the research plan, meeting all of the research goals at roughly the targeted times.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
The project has been extended by one year due to a large amount of unused budget from FY2023 (around 1M yen). The additional year will be used write a paper and attend international conferences to share the results.
|
次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
Travel budget from FY2020 and FY2021 was unused due to pandemic restrictions. This money has been carried over until now.
