Everyone knows smooth collaboration can speed up successful drug discovery projects. But how can we collaborate easily in drug discovery…
Finding balance in drug discovery through multi-parameter optimisation
Successful drugs require a delicate balance of many properties, such as potency, ADME and toxicity, to meet a project’s therapeutic objective. To make decisions about compound progression and assay selection, the available data must be assessed against project-specific criteria. However, the data on which we base our decisions often come from different sources and can vary in quality, so how can we use this information to make confident decisions? In addition, how can we be sure that the criteria we’re using are the most appropriate?
An augmented approach to generative chemistry
Generative molecular design provides new exciting avenues of chemical space exploration. But how can we use these methods effectively to assess many optimisation strategies and find the compounds destined for success in our projects?
Join Dr Matt Segall and Dr Michael Parker as they explore state-of-the-art generative chemistry, and discuss the importance of an augmented intelligence approach for successful discovery.
