The scale and pace of scientific endeavors to develop a vaccine for Coronavirus is unprecedented. There are already 25 different candidate vaccines in clinical trials around the world according to the World Health Organization (WHO) as of July 2020. Oxford University and AstraZeneca have recently announced promising early-stage results, claiming a vaccine might even be available later this year. AI is playing two important roles in the quest for an effective vaccine: firstly, by analyzing and understanding viral protein structures to guide the elements of a vaccine; and secondly, by helping researchers find relevant research papers that are being published at an accelerating rate. Around the world, organizations have created AI tools, shared data sets and research results, and then shared them freely with the global scientific community to help them find the papers relevant to their specific research, to review the breadth of recent findings, and uncover insights.
