AI was supposed to revolutionize drug discovery—but it hasn’t. Yet. Hype, lack of data, and secrecy have hindered the progress many hoped for. We believe the key to unlocking AI's potential in drug discovery lies in #OpenScience and #RadicalCollaboration theglobeandmail.com/business…

Devrions-nous nous sacrifier pour une noble cause ? Notre responsable des partenariats, Lauriane, pense que non. Elle est l’invitée du @PapaPhDPodcast et y explique comment elle réconcilie emploi, impact sociétal et bonheur personnel. Bonne écoute ! papaphd.com/lauriane-gorce/

Announcing CACHE2 results! Crowdsourcing and conventional methods did as well as novel ML. Teams started from 4 fragments in the PDB. We tested their predictions and found double-digit µM hits. This is the state-of-the-art. @thesgconline @consciencemeds bit.ly/4dTPBzO

Check out the preprint @biorxivpreprint detailing #CACHEChallenge 1! The success of these challenges is powered by the always excellent work of Matthieu & the SGC, as well as invaluable expertise and support of CACHE Members from @Bayer and @Boehringer #CADD #OpenScience
All participants to CACHE #1 who agreed to be de-anonymized were invited to join the overview manuscript. The first of a long series to serve as a resource for future developments in virtual screening workflows. doi.org/10.1101/2024.07.18.6… @thesgconline @consciencemeds #compchem

A report detailing the results of the first CACHE #1 challenge, in which 23 computational teams each selected up to 100 commercially available compounds that they predicted would bind to the WDR domain of the Parkinson’s disease target LRRK2. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
