The ATOM Molecular Design Approach for Accelerated Drug Discovery

Presentation/Conference

May 18, 2022 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. ET

During the May Accelerating Therapeutics for Opportunities in Medicine (ATOM) Webinar Series, discover how computing and machine learning can accelerate molecular optimization for cancer and infectious disease therapeutics.

The ATOM Consortium is a public-private partnership whose mission is to transform drug discovery by accelerating the development of more effective therapies for patients.

This webinar will demonstrate how ATOM strives to:

speed up molecular optimization for applications ranging from cancer to infectious disease therapeutics with the help of computing and machine learning,
establish multiparameter property optimization across efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and developability, and
develop systems with the potential to guide and optimize experimental data collection and design validation.
