Artificial intelligence-aided screening could boost speed of new drug discovery

15 December 2022 | By ,

Using a natural language-inspired technique, researchers at the University of Central Florida, US, developed an interpretable and generalisable drug target interaction model that achieves 97 percent accuracy in identifying drug candidates for a broad variety of target proteins. Here, Dr Ozlem Ozmen Garibay and Aida Tayebi, who worked on the…

How many drug discovery breakthroughs have we missed?

14 December 2022 | By

Today’s drug screening methods use one or two types of data. However, disease biology is not replicable by simple screening models because diseases are complex and heterogenous. However, advanced screening methods that process dozens of data sources at one time have uncovered novel hits that have been overlooked across the…
