The Emergence of the AI Augmented Drug Discoverer
Drug discovery is an immensely challenging problem. There are currently more than 9,000 untreated diseases with over 300 million people suffering from rare diseases for which we are unlikely to develop treatments any time soon. The drug discovery process still costs an average of $2.6 billion per drug. Even then, 30 to 50% of top selling drugs don't work for the patients in which they are prescribed for. We build technology in the service of science, specifically using AI to tackle this huge unmet need and to transform the traditional drug discovery process. In this talk Mark will discuss how integration of data is the foundation of which everything else is based, and describe our approach to using AI and human expertise to deliver validated unprecedented targets, and to enhance chemical drug design and precision medicine.
