The Role of AI in Drug Development

Xiao Huang:DOORM, what role does artificial intelligence play in drug development? How is it changing this field?

DOORM:Artificial intelligence plays multiple crucial roles in drug development. Firstly, it accelerates the discovery process of new drugs by analyzing vast amounts of biological data to identify potential drug targets. Secondly, AI can simulate and predict the interactions between drugs and targets, improving the efficiency of drug screening. For example, Insilico used AI to discover a new drug target and found drugs that act on this target through the Alphafold platform. This method not only speeds up drug development but also reduces costs.
