We're facing a challenge in the world of chemistry: our lack of data is slowing down how we can use clever computer programs, known as machine learning, to create powerful new medicines. In this piece, I'll walk you through what we're doing to solve this problem by creating data highways from millions of small molecules, peptides and small proteins. We are now able to use machine learning to discover and create new functional molecules quickly. Sometimes, these computer-designed molecules are even better than what we can make ourselves! Our next step is to create an infinite loop where we automatically design, build, and test potential new medicines.
