Application of Artificial Intelligence to Structural-Functional Biology and Drug Design

Despite technological advances, the conventional process of drug discovery and development still shows limited therapeutic efficacy. To date, we only partially understand disease pathophysiology, we see an overall deficiency in developing therapeutics that target overlapping dysregulated pathways, and the choice of therapeutically irrelevant drug targets.
A key difficulty lies in mining and interpretation of an ever-growing and overwhelming wealth of diverse data — data, that is disparate from global, systemic approaches with an increased granularity of evidence. A subsequent challenge is to determine the relative importance of different pieces of evidence when combining all the available information to suggest promising, sensible targets for drug discovery. Given the latest advances in AI, this enormous task can now be pursued.

Join this webinar to hear and see Irina giving some examples on such target characterization.

Beyond the Flatland: sp³-Rich Fragments Unlock Novel Kinase Chemotypes: Free Webinar!
September 15, 2026 10:40 CEST
Kinases are among the most intensively pursued target families in drug discovery, yet the chemical matter screened against them remains surprisingly narrow. Conventional kinase-focused libraries are dominated by flat, heteroaromatic compounds, while saturated, three-dimensional molecules stay largely underexplored. That narrow structural diversity makes it harder to find genuinely novel chemotypes,...
