Using Artificial Intelligence for Drug Repurposing
Andreas Bender · Royal Society of Chemistry eBooks · 2022
With more and more data being generated in the life sciences the application of computational algorithms and ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (AI) to various fields of drug discovery has also developed significantly in recent years. This chapter will firstly describe what is required for a computational algorithm to be able to be applied for drug repurposing, with a particular focus on the data available in the drug discovery/repurposing context, compared to that available in other domains. This section will be followed by an overview of methods and applications in the field and conclude by detailing which parts still need further development for AI in drug repurposing to have its maximum impact in the future.
