Abstract
The digitalization of biology and medicine is producing an exponential amount of data. Combined with the emergence of new analytical AI tools, unprecedented opportunities to accelerate medical progress are emerging. Today, two major areas are about to undergo a profound transformation: medical and pharmaceutical research as well as clinical practice from diagnosis to therapeutic management. Can AI help in the discovery and development of better drugs?
