Using AI to find new drugs to treat pulmonary fibrosis
Having lost six family members (my mom, three of her siblings, a cousin and my grandma on my mom's side), I'm always hopeful they'll find a cure for this horrible disease.
Today I came across an interesting article I wanted to pass along. It concerns using AI to develop drugs to treat pulmonary fibrosis. It's very interesting what is being done today.
A company named Insilico used AI to come up with a possible drug to treat IPF in 1/3 of the time it normally takes.
Right now they're running a very limited Phase 2 trial, but it may be useful to reach out to them to see if they have further clinical trials coming up. Below is the article:
