Avoid the hype – how to successfully implement AI in drug discovery
AI has the potential to transform discovery. However, to ensure real impact, there are several practicalities that organisations must consider…
Real world case studies: Predicting pharmacokinetics from limited ADME data with deep learning
Now, watch Matt Segall, PhD, CEO at Optibrium, as he introduces a real world case study where we applied deep learning to guide a project, in which potential compounds were displaying good activity profiles but the team wanted to improve their PK profile to achieve better efficacy.
The power of AI applied to agrochemical bioactivity
In the face of growing agrochemical resistance and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, how can artificial intelligence (AI) be harnessed to help lower the costs, failure rates and timelines associated with current agrochemical development cycles?
Transformative insights from your data in CDD vault with Cerella AI

Perfecting the use of imperfect QSAR models
In this webinar, we examine the effective use of QSAR modelling in drug discovery and discuss a variety of pain points for medicinal chemists in knowing when a model can be trusted and how to avoid common pitfalls.
AI in early drug discovery: from promise to practice
In this webinar, Jeff Blaney (Senior Director of Discovery Chemistry, Genentech), Darren Green (Head of Cheminformatics & Data Science, GlaxoSmithKline), Julian Levell (Head of Discovery, New Equilibrium Biosciences), Matthew Segall (CEO, Optibrium) discuss the state of AI in early drug discovery from hit to preclinical candidate and share their experiences with and expectations of AI, including predictive modelling, synthesis prediction, and generative chemistry. Hear about the successes of AI drug discovery and an outlook on what AI needs to achieve to really transform the industry.
AI Solutions from hit to candidate
In this webinar, we explore the highlights of collaborative project results that demonstrate how every phase of the drug discovery process can be radically improved by applying proven AI technology. Providing scientists with insights on which to base decisions can identify valuable new opportunities and reduce the time and cost of AI drug discovery cycles.
We review case studies from collaborations with Constellation Pharmaceuticals, AstraZeneca, Genentech, the University of Dundee and Takeda Pharmaceuticals to validate the impact of applying AI to experimental data and illustrate dramatic improvements to their project outcomes.
Join Samar Mahmoud and Matt Segall for this fascinating deep dive into the revolution that AI is bringing to the challenges of sparse and noisy drug discovery data.
Prediction of in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters and time – exposure curves in rats using machine learning from the chemical structure
This article is a collaboration with Intellegens, the University of Cambridge and AstraZeneca. It provides a proof-of-concept study in which Cerella™ is used to predict rat in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters and concentration–time PK profiles.
