Featured Research Project
Affinity LM
by Tyler Rose | Fellow on Artificial Intelligence
AffinityLM is a revolutionary bioinformatics project aimed at transforming drug discovery by making medicines more affordable and accessible. It predicts drug-target interactions with unmatched accuracy, using 10 times more data than other models and scoring over 50 million molecules per day on consumer-grade hardware. AffinityLM has already identified inhibitors for Sars-Cov-2 and HIV, demonstrating its real-world impact. By reducing drug development costs and barriers to entry, it has the potential to improve global access to life-saving treatments. AffinityLM also has the potential to accelerate responses to emerging global health crises by rapidly identifying therapeutic candidates, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes worldwide.
