Sanofi reported cutting lipid nanoparticle prediction from months to days

WorkingCompany's own claimOfficial ↗

Problem

Sanofi needed stable lipid nanoparticles to carry mRNA vaccines into their intended cells. Selecting suitable particles from its library took months.

Approach

R&D teams used AI to build digital models that predicted promising particles from Sanofi's library. Sanofi reported that the prediction process took days after introducing AI.

Results

months to dayschange in lipid nanoparticle prediction time reported by SanofiCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

The reported time saving covered particle prediction. Sanofi did not report a corresponding reduction in vaccine development time.
