How to help high schoolers prepare for the rise of artificial intelligence

A one-week summer program aims to foster a deeper understanding of machine-learning approaches in health among curious young minds.

Learning the language of molecules to predict their properties

This AI system only needs a small amount of data to predict molecular properties, which could speed up drug discovery and material development.

New model offers a way to speed up drug discovery

By applying a language model to protein-drug interactions, researchers can quickly screen large libraries of potential drug compounds.

Using AI, scientists find a drug that could combat drug-resistant infections

The machine-learning algorithm identified a compound that kills Acinetobacter baumannii, a bacterium that lurks in many hospital settings.

Speeding up drug discovery with diffusion generative models

MIT researchers built DiffDock, a model that may one day be able to find new drugs faster than traditional methods and reduce the potential for adverse side effects.
