The Value of Prediction, and Cost of Success, in Drug Hunting
Mar 26 | Bio-IT World | Across the pharmaceutical industry, generative artificial intelligence is now running an estimated 10 to 20 million predictions a day in a quest to accelerate drug discovery by exploring new molecules and chemical reactions at an unprecedented pace. Access to hardware determines AI capabilities, but the tech-driven process of making medicines is still “done by people for people,” with a human in the loop calling the shots and running the machinery.

piRNAs Emerge as a New Frontier in Longevity
Mar 19 | Bio-IT World | Paul Stamets has spent more than four decades in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, carefully prying tissue samples from the undersides of some of the world’s rarest mushrooms. On the stage of February’s Integrative Health Symposium, that lifetime of fieldwork converged with randomized clinical trials and Department of Defense contracts—a collision of ancient ethnobotany and 21st-century immunology that left the audience energized.

Open Source ‘Floats All Boats’ in AI-Driven Drug Discovery
Mar 17 | Bio-IT World | More than two dozen “grand challenges” remain in small-molecule drug discovery, spanning everything from target selection to developing a medicine that can be safely used in the clinic. No single company can solve all these problems alone, which underscores the importance of computational tools, many of which are built on open-source software. More -
