AI for Drug Discovery & Research
Revolutionise the pharmaceutical pipeline with AI agents designed for drug discovery and research. These tools accelerate target identification, predict molecular interactions, analyse complex biological data, and streamline pre-clinical development, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with bringing new therapies to patients.
Featured Agents & Case Studies
Atomwise
Drug Discovery & Research
Leverages its AtomNet® AI platform for structure-based small molecule drug discovery.
Case Study: Global Partnership Acceleration
Problem: Traditional drug discovery faced bottlenecks in the early hit-finding stage due to the time and cost of high-throughput screening (HTS).
Solution: The AtomNet® AI platform used deep learning to predict molecule binding affinity, screening billions of compounds virtually against specific protein targets for partners worldwide.
Outcome: Successfully identified potential drug candidates for various targets significantly faster than traditional HTS methods, accelerating the hit-finding stage for numerous research programmes.
Healx
Drug Discovery & Research
Specialises in using AI for drug discovery specifically targeting rare diseases, aiming to find treatments faster.
Case Study: UK Rare Disease Drug Repurposing
Problem: Developing treatments for rare diseases faced challenges due to small patient populations and the high cost/risk of traditional drug development.
Solution: The Healnet AI platform analysed vast biomedical data (literature, patents, genetics) to find non-obvious links between existing drugs and rare diseases, accelerating the identification of potential repurposed treatments.
Outcome: Successfully identified potential treatments for several rare diseases by repurposing existing drugs, moving candidates towards clinical trials much faster than starting from scratch.
