The Challenge
Urgent need to develop new drugs (like antivirals for COVID-19) in record time.
The AI Solution
AI-driven drug discovery pipelines, including ML models for analyzing protein structures and generative design of molecules.
Type of AI Used: Machine Learning (for structure-based design)
Results & Impact
Pfizer used AI tools to help create its oral COVID antiviral Paxlovid in just 4 months – dramatically faster than traditional timelines. AI reduced certain computational chemistry processes by 80-90%.
