Food Dive and senior reporter, Megan Poinski, covered our multi-year agreement with MARS in a Dive Brief.
PIPA, an acronym for Process Integration & Predictive Analytics, is bringing AI to life sciences and food. The company’s LEAP™ system includes biomedical databases, scientific publications, clinical trials and datasets from studies dealing with biological molecules.
This system can discover associations among molecular and food-related items with microbes and diseases, paving the way for more functional food items to be created. PIPA had previously worked with Mars — which has a significant pet food and veterinary division — to use veterinary health data to develop the Renaltech diagnostic tool to predict kidney disease in cats.
