SUMMARY:The Future of Drug Discovery: Is Generative AI the Next Breakthrough in Drug Design?
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Drug Discovery\nIs Generative AI the Next Breakthrough in Drug Design?\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tuesday\, June 20\, 2006\n6:00 pm to 8:30 pm\n6:00 pm: Reception and networking\n7:00 pm: Panel discussion (with Q&A) \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nPurchase Tickets\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nPurchase Tickets\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				New drugs have revolutionized healthcare\, with over 200 novel therapeutics gaining FDA approval over the past five years. One key aspect to product success has been – and will continue to be – finding the right drug to bring into development\, as up to 85% of new synthetic chemical compounds fail to reach the market. Traditionally\, drug candidates have been vetted using a process called high-throughput screening (HTS)\, where thousands of drug candidates are evaluated through their reactivity with specific biological targets. The hit rate of HTS\, however\, can be quite low\, with some estimates at significantly less than 0.01 percent. \nNew Generative AI promises to transform drug discovery through new approaches to identifying drug candidates. By leveraging recent innovations in AI\, companies have mined databases to discover new drug-target interactions or design novel compounds. These revolutionary advances are accelerating the development of treatments for cancers and other complex diseases\, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. For both startups and established companies\, this represents an unprecedented opportunity to reshape the future of drug development. \nNew Featuring pharmaceutical executives\, biotech entrepreneurs\, and AI innovators\, our event panel will explore whether AI is truly a breakthrough in drug discovery\, and how it can address long-standing challenges in the industry. \n\nWhat are the key approaches to using Generative AI to invent new drug candidates?\nWhat challenges and limitations remain in AI-driven drug discovery?\nHow can startups navigate FDA evaluation of AI-driven drug discovery approaches?\nHow are pharmaceutical companies and startups collaborating to accelerate AI-driven innovation around drug discoveries?\n\nNew Join us on March 20 to peer into the future of drug discovery. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nPurchase Tickets\n\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Moderator \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				AaronArvey\nHead of Computational Discovery\, Third Rock Ventures\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n					LinkedIn\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelist \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				PetrinaKamya\nVice President & Global Head of AI Platforms\, Insilico Medicine\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n					LinkedIn\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelist \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				VenkateshMysore\nChief Technology Officer and Co-Founder\, Aikium\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n					LinkedIn\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelist \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				DavidSolow-Cordero\nAssociate Director\, High Throughput Screening Knowledge Center & Innovative Medicine Accelerator (IMA)\, Stanford University\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n					LinkedIn\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelist \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				LuWang\nInvestment Director\, Foothill Ventures\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n					LinkedIn\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Ticket Includes Food and Drink \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				View or download flyer for event: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Download printable PDF. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\n\n			\n				View Page on Eventbrite\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Special Thanks to Our Event Sponsors
