Atomwise contacted Rohde and researchers across 30 countries worldwide to participate in using an artificial intelligence molecular screen (AIMS) to find new effective TB drugs. AI can hasten scientific research by quickly testing potentially millions of drugs against a disease model. Testing 100 drugs versus millions will undoubtably accelerate our research, saving a lot of time and money. ” For those reasons, scientists like Rohde are looking for ways to speed up discovery of drugs to better tuberculosis. -If successful, the use of AI-based virtual drug screening could revolutionize the challenging task of discovering new antibiotics,” he says. Using this tool, Atomwise screened 2. 5 million commercially available compounds to identify potential new antibiotics for TB. -It has the potential to really accelerate the development of affordable new treatment options for global health problems like TB. “
