Robert Bevan & Mouhamad Aboshokor - Medicines Discovery Catapult

At MDC we’ve completed several commercial projects applying AI techniques to various types of data across multiple areas of drug discovery. In our session we’ll provide an overview of three recent AI related projects. We hope to emphasize the wide range of possible applications of AI in drug discovery, and to demonstrate the areas we can help with. Their talk will cover:

  • Applying natural language processing techniques to clinical trial text data to improve clinical trial design

  • AI for lead optimization

  • Integrating computer vision techniques in a literature processing pipeline
