This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $350,000 to Sinopia Biosciences Inc. to develop computational methods for predicting the metabolomic profiles of unscreened chemical compounds. The goal is to enable more efficient metabolomics-based drug discovery by combining sparse experimental screening with computational inference. Key objectives include: 1) developing methods to predict metabolic profiles of untested cell line/compound combinations, 2) creating algorithms to forecast metabolomic drug perturbations based on chemical structure, 3) generating metabolomics data to validate the developed models, and 4) establishing a confidence metric for the accuracy of the virtual metabolomic profiles. This work is expected to be completed over a 1-year period from August 2025 to July 2026, and will help scale Sinopia Biosciences' metabolomics-driven drug discovery platform by expanding the chemical space and biological contexts that can be efficiently explored.
