Core Concept
An important concept of helixstreet is the helixgroup. In clinical practice, some patients respond to a drug while others don't — and this differential response is often rooted in genetics. Machine learning can determine drug behavior based on the genetic signature of a patient. Through our platform, individuals are classified into helixgroups — distinct genetic clusters that share common traits and drug response profiles. A single person can belong to multiple helixgroups simultaneously, reflecting the rich complexity of human genetic variation. Drug development companies can leverage helixgroups as a foundational tool for personalized medicine, predicting drug efficacy and safety across different genetic populations.
