Practical Application of AI in Drug Discovery and Development

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the drug development landscape. Learn how it is being used across biotech and pharma for drug discovery and development.

In this 60 minute webinar, experts discuss:

  • What is AI and how is it being applied to drug discovery?
  • What are computers good at versus humans and where is the intersection?
  • How does AI-driven drug discovery and development impact cost and timelines?
  • How do AI applications define specific point problems in drug discovery?

John M. Baldoni, Senior Vice President, Platform Technology and Science (PTS), PhD (Panelist)

GSK Pharma R&D

John joined GSK in 1989 and has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 37 years. His experience spans new chemical entity design, development and commercialization, and biopharmaceutical development. His PTS activities span the drug discovery and development process, contributing to preclinical activities leading to clinical candidate selection through commercial launch. Working with therapeutic area scientists, PTS conducts a wide range of activities to evaluate the potential of a molecule in early drug discovery; assessment of risks associated using in vitro and non-clinical models; and provision of the chemistry, formulation and manufacture of the physical drug product, ultimately for transfer to commercial manufacturing. This accountability covers the discovery of small molecules, biopharmaceuticals, and cell and gene therapies. Further, PTS is a key contributor to the modernization of R&D.
