AI in Drug Discovery - A Highly Opinionated Literature Review (Part II)

Practical Cheminformatics

When given the prompt “Please estimate the binding affinity between the drug Afatinib and target EGFR”, GPT-4 suggested a docking study, which is definitely not a wise choice. While large pharmaceutical companies have data on thousands or even millions of compounds, this data is rarely shared due to intellectual property concerns.

Building collaborations to fight a pandemic

The Pharma Data

It’s a coalition of globally renowned academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies and nonprofit research organizations. We are also supporting the consortium’s preclinical safety and pharmacokinetics workstreams. I guess that’s the true definition of situational leadership. These will be screened against SARS-CoV-2.
