Title: AI-driven target identification for crop protection
Syngenta Crop Protection is a leader in agricultural innovation, bringing breakthrough technologies and solutions that enable farmers to grow food sustainably. We develop safe crop protection solutions through a deep understanding of biology. This detailed understanding of mode of action, resistance and bioprocessing is used to enhance product performance and sustainability. In this talk we will highlight some of the computational tools that we develop and employ to identify suitable gene and protein targets in pest species. We leverage various artificial intelligence tools to select and rank candidate targets to improve our success in developing commercially viable products.
