- New AI platform, Drug Design for Global Health (dd4gh), launched by MMV and deepmirror to accelerate malaria drug discovery using AI-powered tools.
- dd4gh uses AI to provide advanced technology to under-resourced researchers, aiming to shorten drug discovery timelines and reduce costs.
- Developed from workshops in Ghana and Switzerland, the platform is designed to analyze large data sets and propose promising compounds for lab exploration.
- Aimed at promoting inclusivity, dd4gh is freely accessible to scientists in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), potentially transforming Africa’s drug discovery research capacity.
- The platform uses active learning, continuously improving its predictions and models by learning from new data.
