Accelerating Drug Formulation Intelligence Using Palantir Foundry

Client

A global pharmaceutical and life sciences organization involved in drug discovery, formulation research, and regulatory documentation across multiple therapeutic areas.

Challenge

The client managed thousands of unstructured PDF documents, including formulation reports, stability studies, clinical and pre-clinical research papers, and internal experimental records.

Key challenges included:

• Difficulty extracting critical formulation parameters and compound data
• Limited visibility into relationships between formulations and historical research
• Inability to efficiently cross-reference internal studies with prior research
• Heavy reliance on manual document reviews, leading to slower research cycles and higher error risk

Solution

AIT Global implemented an AI-powered document intelligence platform using Palantir Foundry, tailored for life sciences research workflows.

The solution enabled:

• Ingestion and indexing of large volumes of scientific PDFs into Foundry
• NLP- and AI-based extraction of key entities such as APIs, excipients, composition ratios, stability conditions, and experimental outcomes
• A domain-specific ontology linking drug compounds, formulations, experiments, and research documents
• Intelligent cross-referencing to identify similar formulations and related research automatically
• Custom Foundry applications allowing scientists to semantically search, compare, and trace formulation lineage across studies

Benefits

• Faster access to formulation insights across thousands of documents
• Improved reuse of internal research and institutional knowledge
• Significant reduction in manual document review efforts
• Accelerated formulation research cycles with improved accuracy and traceability
• Scalable foundation for future AI-driven drug discovery and analytics initiatives
