AI is becoming more capable, but its value still depends on the data, questions and decisions behind it. Where is it genuinely improving drug discovery and where do the limitations remain?
From early research to quality control, maintaining analytical continuity is no easy task. Could a single sequencing workflow help simplify analytical assessment?
One receptor can protect antibodies from degradation, extend their half-life and become a drug target itself. Explore the science behind FcRn and how researchers measure its function.
Non-animal methods are already used throughout early drug discovery, yet animal testing continues to dominate regulatory safety assessment. Recent initiatives suggest change is coming, but significant scientific and practical challenges remain.
What if the vast amounts of data generated by molecular dynamics simulations could be routinely shared and reused? A new €10 million European initiative aims to do just that, helping researchers gain a deeper understanding of protein behaviour and drug-target interactions.
Insilico Medicine has advanced its AI-discovered TNIK inhibitor Rentosertib into a 320-patient Phase III trial for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, marking a landmark moment for generative AI drug discovery.
A collaborative research team from LJI, Scripps Research and IAVI has developed an experimental HIV vaccine that successfully generated broadly neutralising antibodies in rhesus macaques, marking a pivotal advance in the 14-year effort to design an effective HIV vaccine.
Researchers have identified 15-PGDH enzyme inhibition as a neuroprotective strategy in Parkinson’s disease, with repurposable compounds already in clinical development offering a potential shortcut to disease-modifying therapies.
