Synopsis The BMCS Hot Topics online meetings are intended to highlight breaking areas of research in fields of science relevant to drug discovery. They will run as stand-alone half-day virtual events, 2-3 times per year. The programme will be targeted towards researchers who would like to enhance their understanding of these nascent or developing fields.
Artificial intelligence (AI)Â is becoming an increasingly important part of the drug discovery toolkit, with applications spanning target discovery, molecular design, protein modelling, and clinical development. As the field advances, AI is not only offering new technical capabilities but also changing how researchers approach the challenges of drug discovery. This meeting will highlight recent progress in AI-driven drug discovery, bringing together perspectives from industry and academia. Talks will explore enabling technologies and practical applications of AI across the drug discovery pipeline.
