AI Develops Liver Cancer Treatment In 30 Days
Artificial intelligence has developed a cancer treatment in 30 days.
In a new study, researchers at the University of Toronto worked with Insilico Medicine to develop a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) – an aggressive form of liver cancer that occurs when a tumour grows on the organ.
The AI discovered a previously unknown treatment pathway and designed a ‘novel hit molecule’ that is capable of binding to the target.
The system is also able to predict a patient’s survival rate using doctors’ notes.
Insilico Medicine CEO Alex Zhavoronkov said: “While the world was fascinated with advances in generative AI in art and language, our generative AI algorithms managed to design potent inhibitors of a target with an AlphaFold-derived structure.”
