Drug discovery is a complex process akin to solving a jigsaw puzzle, where chemical compounds must fit precisely with body proteins. Researchers at SMU have developed SmartCADD, an open-source tool that integrates artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics to streamline this process. This innovative platform significantly reduces the time required to identify potential drug candidates, as demonstrated in a study focusing on HIV treatments.
SmartCADD employs deep learning and explainable AI to analyze vast databases of chemical compounds, showcasing its versatility beyond HIV drug discovery. The collaborative effort between SMU's chemistry and computer science departments highlights the importance of interdisciplinary research in achieving breakthroughs. As the project progresses, it promises to enhance the capabilities of both chemistry and machine learning in drug development.
