Chennai, Nov. 3 -- Researchers from the IIT-Madras' Wadhwani School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (WSAI) and the Ohio State University, US, have developed a breakthrough Artificial Intelligence (AI) framework that couldn rapidly generate drug-like molecules that are easier to synthesise in real-world laboratory settings.
The system promises to significantly cut down the early-stage timelines of drug development--currently a billion-dollar, decade-long process--and could play a crucial role in addressing drug resistance in cancer and infectious diseases.
The new framework, called 'PURE' (Policy-guided Unbiased REpresentations for Structure-Constrained Molecular Generation (SCMG), stands apart from existing molecule-generation...
