AI screening method to speed up drug discovery
Researchers from Tsinghua University and Peking University have unveiled DrugCLIP, a new AI-based screening program that they say could accelerate drug discovery (Science 2026, DOI: 10.1126/science.ads9530). More than 20,000 human proteins are estimated to have druggable hotspots, making up the so-called “druggable genome.” But researchers have found viable ligands for only a fraction of these…
