How AI Can Be Used to Develop Nanomedicines

A wide range of nanomedicines exist, many of which revolve around being the'carrier'. This means that they act as a vessel that can carry therapeutic payloads (a drug of interest) and deliver them to a specific location. This has become particularly useful for delivering drugs that would otherwise be too toxic to administer on their own. There are other nanomedicines as well, such as nanoparticles that can kill cancer cells and nanoforms of drugs that are in solid nanoparticle suspensions. These are but a few examples, and because nanomedicines span many areas from the'drug' itself to being a carrier, to being either inorganic or organic in nature, there are many things to think about when it comes to designing new nanomedicines.
