AI use in repurposing drugs for Covid-19

Drug Discovery World

In 2020, AI models predicted the efficacy of repurposed drugs for Covid-19. Clinical trials revealed eight out of nine predictions were correct. Our core technology uses machine learning (ML) models on image-based measurements of cellular morphology to broadly explore biology and chemistry and accelerate drug discovery efforts.

Re-assessing the risks of drug-induced arrhythmias during drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

Can potentially lethal arrhythmias induced by novel drugs be better predicted by using more relevant and sophisticated electrophysiological screening methods? Such techniques, if routinely deployed in drug discovery, may enable improved decision making in predicting serious adverse cardiovascular events.
