What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The measure of AI in drug discovery is shifting from generating candidate molecules to proving preclinical efficacy. Novartis advanced a biologic designed using Generate’s platform into its preclinical pipeline. Additionally, Eli Lilly and Company made a $40 million strategic equity investment in Absci Corporation, and Sanofi agreed to pay Regeneron Pharmaceuticals $1 billion upfront for four next-generation antibodies in their alliance.
