Deep learning tools for protein design can also be used to create molecules that bind to them. Certain peptides, such as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), are challenging to target due to their variable nature. However, scientists from the lab of Nobel laureate David Baker have developed a method to generate binders for IDPs by searching the world’s largest protein database with their AI-powered tool RFdiffusion.

Rakovina Therapeutics Inc. has reported progress in its AI-driven KT-5000AI program, advancing the development of precision ATR (ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related) inhibitors designed to disrupt the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway in cancer cells. Through its collaboration with Variational AI Inc., Rakovina has evaluated a vast chemical space of potential molecular structures using Variational’s AI Enki platform to identify novel compounds

The continuing proliferation of U.S. state privacy law drew the attention of developers of med-tech wearables for some time, but a recent Senate hearing delivered the news to Congress that a failure to preempt it will slow digital health innovation to a crawl.

Qanatpharma AG (QP), Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB), Enamine Ltd. and Proteros biostructures GmbH have announced the launch of a research collaboration to accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutics targeting cerebral perfusion deficits associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Gero Pte Ltd. have entered into a joint research and license agreement to develop novel therapies for age-related diseases. Chugai will create novel antibody-drug candidates for new drug targets discovered by Gero using its AI target discovery platform.

The U.K. government revealed its much anticipated 10-year plan to get the National Health Service back on its feet and fit for the future. It is betting on five technologies – data, AI, Genomics, wearables and robotics – to drive the change needed to transform the health care system.

The U.K. Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency opened a second round in its AI airlock program although this round, like the first round, will be limited to four applicants.

South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on June 9 approved Vuno Inc’s AI-based Med-DeepECG Kidney software as a non-invasive method to screen for kidney dysfunction.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc. have released an open-source AI model that can predict the binding strength of small molecules as well as structures of proteins and biomolecular complexes. The model, which is called Boltz-2 and was released by the research team on the developer platform Github on June 6, addresses a major bottleneck in drug discovery with its improved ability to predict binding strengths.
