The future of AI drug discovery & development in immunology and GPCR research

pharmaphorum

A mere six months ago Verily launched the study with Sosei Heptares – a global leader in GPCR structure-based drug design – with an aim to “prioritise protein targets for therapeutic targeting in immune-mediated disease”. Verily’s Immune Profiler can, Kim asserted, “generate more than 8 million immune measures across 24 immune cell subsets”.
