New initiative aims to use artificial intelligence to identify early drug candidates

Insilico Medicine, in collaboration with ChemDiv, Inc., launched a drug discovery initiative that aims to use the power of artificial intelligence for screening chemistry space with newly designed compounds. The initiative is expected to identify a massive of drug candidates in the early stages. That became possible because AI can scan a vast number of compounds at higher speeds and with improved accuracy compared to traditional screening projects. The new project is aimed at rapidly screening targets in various therapeutic areas, including oncology, metabolism, immunology, urology, and others. We have successfully identified early drug candidates by screening a limited number of compounds with our AI virtual screening platform.
