DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Adnan Khaleel (Dell)\nIn spite of all the recent adv
 ances in biochemistry and several associated areas\, pharmaceutical drug d
 iscovery is still notoriously difficult to do\, with lives literally at st
 ake. A typical drug interacts with 300 other enzymes and processes within 
 the human body\, and a drug has to pass with minimal disruptions to all of
  these processes in order to deemed safe. Nearly 90% of all targeted drugs
  fail in Phase 1 of the clinical trials\, but today\, with AI\, we’re fi
 nding ways to improve our chances of success. In some cases\, AI can creat
 e designer molecules that are already screened for previous toxicity and h
 old the promise to drastically reduce the time to creation of new drugs. I
 n this talk\, I’ll be giving a very brief overview of the various AI tec
 hniques that are currently being used today.\n\nhttps://events.chpc.ac.za/
