AI's Rapid Cancer Treatment Discoveries in 30 Days or Less

Researchers from the University of Toronto and Insilico Medicine used an AI-powered database called AlphaFold to create a drug that could potentially treat liver cancer. AlphaFold identified a previously undiscovered pathway to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and developed a "novel hit molecule" that could bind to the target. However, any potential drug would still need to undergo clinical trials before it can be used to treat cancer. Another study showed how AI was more than 80% accurate in predicting cancer patient survivor rates.
