De-risking drug discovery with predictive AI

Broad Institute

Together, the tools estimate how a drug may impact diverse outcomes of interest to drug developers: general cellular health, pharmacokinetics, and heart and liver function. Drug developers also assess pharmacokinetic effects, or how an organism absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and clears a drug. Online February 1, 2024.
