DeepMind uses AI to tackle neglected deadly diseases

DeepMind, a tech company owned by Alphabet, is utilizing artificial intelligence to address neglected deadly diseases such as Chagas disease and Leishmaniasis. The company is collaborating with the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDI) to advance treatments for these parasitic diseases. DeepMind's AlphaFold program has shown remarkable accuracy in predicting protein structures in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.

The partnership aims to develop new, effective treatments for diseases like cancer, dementia, and infectious diseases by leveraging AI technology. DeepMind's focus on underserved and neglected areas in healthcare highlights the potential impact of AI in accelerating scientific research and drug discovery. The initiative holds promise for providing easier-to-take oral drugs for patients affected by neglected diseases.
