Artificial Intelligence Molecular Screen

AIMS Award

Summary:

The goal of this program is to broaden the pool of scientists pursuing drug discovery. To advance this goal, Atomwise will award researchers with a customized virtual screen using cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, free chemical compounds for physical screening, and technical support from medicinal chemists and computational biologists.

Due Date:

October 28, 2019

Award:

  • customized virtual screen of chemical compounds* using AtomNetTM;
  • ~72 small molecule compounds predicted to bind to their selected protein;
  • compounds that can serve as controls, if available;
  • ordering of compounds from suppliers, resuspension and dilution to a convenient concentration and aliquoted onto microtiter plates, QC verification by mass spectrometry, and delivery to the researcher’s lab;
  • randomized “blinding” of compounds;
  • support from Atomwise medicinal chemists and computational biologists; and
  • additional chemical compounds and support if criteria are met.
