London, United Kingdom
London Heathrow Marriott Hotel
Over 30 presentations were given at the 2019 meeting. This year the meeting was focused on how you can successfully leverage the power of AI and machine learning by utilising high-quality big data in order to revolutionise your drug discovery and development process. Talks explored implementation strategies and advances in the convergence of AI, informatics and data management for early drug discovery.
“A good overview of what other pharmaceutical companies are doing with respect to data management, AI etc. in research”
“Information from those developing and implementing data management systems”
“The fact this was a scientific rather than very commercial conference”
“The ability to network was very important. the program provided ample time for that”
Once again this hugely successful senior-level R&D event was co-located with the 4th Medicinal Chemistry Summit, which also explored machine learning and AI in Drug Discovery.
Watch this video of the meeting.
The programme has been designed to create a collaborative environment in which you can engage with the speakers, sponsors and other delegates in attendance.
