An excerpt from the exclusive interview with Akos Tarcsay:
The AI in Drug Discovery market has matured greatly over recent years, what key differences have you noticed in the last year regarding significant developments?
“AI has become available for wider audiences by making machine learning easier to manage. Integration and MLOps developed significantly, making the ecosystem more robust, reproducible and stable. Techniques available in the scientific domain for a while are now closer to users who can harness the benefits of machine learning. In the last year generative modelling approaches have become standard to be applied in drug discovery settings”.
What do you see as the greatest challenge for you to overcome personally in the field of drug discovery at the moment?
“The perception about the results of machine learning. This is a cultural change; consumers of the AI model results are to be educated on the benefits and possible limitations of the model to avoid confusion and distraction”.
What area of drug discovery do you work within, and how have AI approaches helped in moving the discovery process forward?
“I am working with predictive modelling for on-targets and of targets in the field of pre-clinical optimization. ADMET predictions are one of the areas I am especially interested in. During the last year, I have built cardiotoxicity models. We are a software solution provider company and we help drug discovery teams in their endeavour to rank ideas and find high-quality synthesis candidates using data and predictions.
The final goal is to increase the efficiency of drug discovery when balancing attributes and identifying successful drug candidates”.
Akos will be speaking at AI in Drug Discovery Conference on “Converting Data To Project Team Insights” on day one, covering:
• Building machine learning models for large number of targets
• Demonstration of use cases from ADMET predictions: hERG and penetration models
• Overarching review of challenges from data to actionable predictions
• Leveraging the power of predictions in integrated design system
