AI in Drug Discovery – AlphaFold3 & Virtual Screening video course download, Master AlphaFold 3 and Virtual Screening to Accelerate the Drug Discovery Using AI from Targets to Leads. Unlock the Future of Drugs Discovery with AI: A Comprehensive to Molecular Design and Scalable AI. This course provides a complete, end-to-end blueprint for using Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize how we find, design, and produce life-saving medicines.
We begin by diving into the AlphaFold Revolution. You will learn how to leverage AlphaFold 3 to solve the protein-folding problem, predicting complex 3D structures and protein-protein interactions with unprecedented accuracy. From there, you will master Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD), moving beyond simple docking to AI-enhanced scoring functions that predict binding affinity more reliably than ever before.
What sets this course apart is its holistic approach. We don’t stop at discovery; we bridge the gap between the lab and the factory. You will explore:
- Generative AI: Using VAEs and GANs to “invent” novel molecules with optimized properties.
- Predictive ADMET: Reducing clinical failure by predicting toxicity and metabolism in silico.
- Case Studies: Real-world breakdowns of AI-designed drugs like Halicin and Rentosertib.
- AI in Manufacturing: Utilizing Machine Learning for Quality by Design (QbD) and optimizing the chemical synthesis of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API).
What you’ll learn
- The Career Pivoter – Joining the AI Drug Discovery
- Academic Researchers
- Digital Transformation Leads
- Future Bio-Entrepreneurs
