Harnessing AI to Fight Diseases of Aging

Insilico Medicine is working to harness artificial intelligence to address diseases of aging and in the process reinvent the way new drugs are discovered and developed. Its AI platform is integrated into the continuum of the discovery and development process and seeks to improve target identification, the selection of drug candidates, and predict clinical trial outcomes. In addition to working in collaboration with the large pharmaceutical companies, Insilico is pursuing internal drug discovery programs in range of diseases of aging. We spoke to Alex Zhavoronkov, CEO of Inisilco Medicine, about the company’s platform technology, the potential for AI to transform the discovery and development of drugs, and why Insilico focuses its efforts on diseases of aging.
