at Indiana University aims to develop AI tools to accelerate the search for Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia treatments.<\/li>\n<li>The five-year project unites researchers from the School of Medicine and the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering.<\/li>\n<li>The goal is to use AI and machine learning to significantly enhance the evaluation of potential drug candidates, thus speeding up the drug discovery process.<\/li>\n<li>Artificial intelligence will combine with traditional chemistry and medical research methods to identify new chemical structures that could interact with Alzheimer&#8217;s-related proteins.<\/li>\n<li>There is potential for the new AI-powered approach to transform drug discovery by being able to efficiently screen billions of compounds, thereby prioritizing promising leads.<\/li>\n<li>While symptom-managing medications exist, there is a pressing need for treatments that can halt or reverse Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and AI may bridge this critical gap.<\/li>\n<li>The initiative operates in parallel with the TREAT-AD program at Indiana University, also focused on finding new drug targets for Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.<\/li>\n<li>Researchers remain hopeful that this new approach will yield the next generation of effective treatments for Alzheimer\u2019s and related forms of dementia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI and machine learning tools speed up Alzheimer&#8217;s drug discovery at Indiana University
