"PURE AI Framework from IIT Madras and Ohio State Boosts Drug Discovery"

Researchers from IIT Madras and Ohio State University have launched PURE, an innovative AI framework utilizing reinforcement learning to generate drug-like molecules, enhancing drug development efficiency against diseases like cancer and infections.

• The PURE AI framework, developed by IIT Madras and Ohio State University, employs reinforcement learning to replicate real chemical reactions, optimizing the drug development process.
• This framework focuses on generating drug-like molecules with improved lab synthesizability, aiming to accelerate the discovery of treatments for cancer and infectious diseases.
• IIT Madras Wadhwani School of Data Science played a crucial role in this research, which promises to significantly cut down the timelines and costs associated with drug development.
