Artificial intelligence and machine learning are being embedded in every aspect of the drug discovery and development process. In the preclinical stages, for example, companies are using advanced AI ...

Discovering effective drug combinations may now be easier thanks to a screening platform made public today by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists. Many diseases, including cancers, ...

The drug development pipeline is a costly and lengthy process. Identifying high-quality "hit" compounds-those with high potency, selectivity, and favorable metabolic properties-at the earliest stages ...

SAVANA uses a machine learning algorithm to identify cancer-specific structural variations and copy number aberrations in long-read DNA sequencing data. The complex structure of cancer genomes means ...

Artificial intelligence algorithms have now been combined with traditional laboratory methods to uncover promising drug leads against human enterovirus 71 (EV71), the pathogen behind most cases of ...
