AI3SD Video: New Trends in Drug Discovery – Robotics & AI

The drug discovery ecosystem is undergoing transformational change. New technologies have an increasing impact on how drugs are being discovered and developed, including in particular Artificial Intelligence and robotics. A critical precondition for successful development of AI applications is having access to large amounts of structured, annotated, machine-learnable data. The talk will cover how recent advances in laboratory automation and robotics enable the generation of biomedical data at scale, providing the most critical input for AI systems. The talk will present real-world case studies, showing how leading AI drug discovery firms benefit from full automation of their discovery processes, delegating experiment execution to advanced robotics, and allowing for projects to move to the next stage faster and more efficiently.
