Medicinal Chemistry In The Age Of Artificial Intelligence

LifeSciVC

In 2001, I was at Millennium Pharmaceuticals, one of the major players in the nascent field of genomics drug discovery, and that time has strong parallels to the changing state of drug development today. In fact, the Millennium of 2001 (pre-Takeda acquisition) had one drug approved which was Velcade (bortezomib).
