Most cancers medicine by laptop — Science Information, February 23, 1974

Chemists usually must type a lot of compounds based on whether or not or not they possess a given property.… [Researchers] have been engaged on a method of getting computer systems to show themselves find out how to clear up such issues. The newest experiments point out that the method [based on pattern recognition] could also be helpful to find most cancers medicine.

Trendy computer systems can do greater than sift by recognized compounds. With superior synthetic intelligence, computer systems are serving to scientists design novel molecules and predict how these compounds will react with proteins within the physique, probably resulting in new most cancers therapies (SN: 10/18/18). The expertise is promising however nonetheless in its early days. Finally, most drug candidates will nonetheless falter in individuals, some scientists warning. In 2021, the worldwide biotech firm Exscientia launched the first trial of an AI-developed most cancers drug. However the firm shelved the drug in 2023 after it proved to be ineffective. Different AI most cancers medicine are in varied levels of testing.
