Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are AI predictions for drug efficacy?+
Modern AI models achieve 70-85% accuracy in predicting drug-target binding affinity and 75-90% accuracy in toxicity prediction. While not perfect, this dramatically reduces the number of compounds that need wet-lab validation, saving months of work and millions of dollars.
Can AI replace traditional drug discovery entirely?+
No, AI augments rather than replaces human expertise and experimental validation. AI excels at rapid screening and prediction, but laboratory testing, clinical trials, and expert judgment remain essential. The combination of AI and traditional methods is most powerful.
What data is required to train AI models for drug discovery?+
We leverage public databases (ChEMBL, PubChem, ZINC) combined with your proprietary data. For custom models, we typically need 1,000-10,000 labeled compounds with associated properties. Transfer learning allows us to achieve good results even with limited proprietary data.
How long does it take to implement an AI drug discovery platform?+
Initial deployment typically takes 3-6 months, including data integration, model training, and validation. This includes setting up infrastructure, integrating with your existing systems, training custom models on your data, and validation against known compounds.
What's the ROI of implementing AI in drug discovery?+
Companies typically see 3-5x ROI within the first year through cost savings in screening and reduced failed candidates. Long-term benefits include 30-50% faster time-to-market and 60-70% lower R&D costs per successful drug. Even a single successful drug brought to market 1-2 years earlier can generate hundreds of millions in additional revenue.
How do you ensure IP protection for our proprietary compounds?+
We offer on-premise deployment or private cloud options where your data never leaves your infrastructure. All models trained on your proprietary data remain your property. We sign comprehensive NDAs and can implement additional security measures like air-gapped systems for maximum IP protection.
