MIT researchers created an AI model that makes yeast produce protein drugs more efficiently, potentially cutting costs for vaccines and cancer treatments. The breakthrough could speed up how we develop life-saving medications.
A cancer researcher at MD Anderson is using artificial intelligence to slash drug development timelines, with the first AI-designed treatments heading to clinical trials in 2027. What once took years of trial and error now happens in months.
A Hong Kong biotech startup is using artificial intelligence to design "nano-rockets" that deliver life-saving drugs, slashing development time from years to just 18 months. METiS TechBio's stock soared 173% on its market debut as investors rushed to back the breakthrough technology.
Families with rare disease children are attending free bootcamps that teach them how to develop their own treatments. Half of the groups trained in 2019 reached clinical trials within five years.
University of Virginia researchers created AI tools that could transform how quickly life-saving medications reach patients. Their system designs drugs by simulating how proteins actually move in the body, not just frozen snapshots.
A failed experiment at Cambridge led to a breakthrough that could transform how medicines are made. Scientists discovered a light-powered method to modify drug molecules faster, cleaner, and without toxic chemicals.
Researchers have figured out how bacteria naturally create powerful cancer-fighting drugs, solving a puzzle that's stumped scientists for decades. The breakthrough could fast-track new treatments for hard-to-treat cancers.
A new biotech startup is solving a critical bottleneck in drug development: testing the flood of promising treatments AI keeps discovering. Their tool helps scientists quickly understand which AI-generated drug candidates are worth pursuing.
The World Health Organization is leading a global push to develop new antifungal treatments as drug-resistant fungal infections claim millions of lives annually. Researchers are working on innovative solutions while calling for smarter use of existing drugs.
China's rapidly growing biotech sector is transforming how new medicines reach patients worldwide. The expansion signals more resources, faster innovation, and greater competition in the race to cure diseases.
Scientists just made discovering new medicines faster and cheaper using smart AI that predicts which chemical combinations will work. Instead of testing 50 reactions in the lab, researchers now only need to test 5.
South Korea approved its 42nd and 43rd domestically developed drugs in April alone, marking a dramatic acceleration in medical innovation. After averaging just two approvals per year for two decades, the country is on track for a record-breaking 2026.
Scientists at UC San Diego have developed a drug that could help millions of Parkinson's patients get better relief from their symptoms without the involuntary movements that plague current treatments. The compound, called SB-0110, showed promising results in animal studies by boosting the benefits of the standard medication while reducing its worst side effects.
A Ghanaian scientist at Imperial College London is using microchip technology smaller than your phone to speed up medicine development for diseases like malaria and diabetes. The breakthrough could cut years off traditional drug testing while reducing costs and animal testing.
AI drug developer Insilico Medicine just landed a massive partnership with pharma giant Eli Lilly worth up to $2.75 billion. The deal could accelerate how new medicines reach patients who need them.
Hong Kong-based Insilico Medicine just landed a potential $2.75 billion partnership with pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, marking one of the largest AI drug development deals ever. The agreement shows how artificial intelligence is transforming medicine from science fiction into life-saving reality.
Researchers at the University of Queensland have developed a breakthrough drug that could lead to new treatments for Motor Neurone Disease and other conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The molecule successfully targets a previously hard-to-reach immune receptor, opening doors to safer anti-inflammatory therapies.
A Korean biotech company's AI software that forecasts clinical trial outcomes with 80% accuracy is heading to American labs. Boston-based Cambridge Scientific will distribute the platform to help drug developers save time and money on experiments. #
