Author Description

This book is geared to prepare people for the integration of artificial intelligence in drug discovery, displaying how these solutions can effectively drive down the cost of healthcare. It starts with guiding the reader into the current affairs of drug discovery in order to build a comprehensive view of the process. From there, the time-consuming and costly aspects are illuminated in order to reveal areas of needed improvement. Theoretical concepts in the scientific literature are reviewed and analyzed as potential solutions that could be matched to current processes. In addition to these abstract views, concrete solutions are explored through a set of 25 companies in this specific field. From drug therapy companies utilizing AI to shorten the preclinical process to those working on entirely new approaches using AI at the cellular level to see how it interacts with the disease, these are some of the upcoming leaders of the AI revolution in healthcare. With this book, the reader should have a grasp on how AI readily integrates into a central aspect of the current healthcare system.
