Welcome to the Molecule to Medicine webinar series

Have you come across our webinar series AI Ate My Homework? In this series, we explored different topics with industry partners, such as Machine Learning and the basics of drug development.

We are excited to launch season 2 but with a new name – Molecule to Medicine (M2M). This season explores the journey of how a molecule becomes a drug, how AI helps in drug discovery, and concepts about drug repurposing and polypharmacology.
