The Challenge: Connecting Research Models

The Ellison Medical Institute (EMI), led by cancer researcher Dr. David Agus, needed to accelerate their therapeutic discovery process. The team found that existing AI models from different research institutions weren't designed to work together. EMI researchers were balancing technical integration alongside critical cancer research.

The Salt AI Solution: Simplifying Model Integration

Salt AI partnered with EMI to implement a platform designed for research efficiency. The Salt platform enabled researchers to connect multiple AI models from various institutions—even when those models weren't originally designed to work together—without requiring specialized technical expertise.

Results: Improved Research Efficiency

In just a few months of collaboration, Salt AI and EMI achieved significant advancements.

Working with Salt AI, EMI was able to:

• Increase drug candidate evaluation speed by 22x

• Integrate 7 different model architectures from multiple institutions

• Reduce time spent on technical implementation by 85%
