A Cautionary Tale for AI in Small Molecule Drug Discovery

Despite the buzz around artificial intelligence (AI), most industry insiders know that the use of machine learning (ML) in drug discovery is nothing new. For more than a decade, researchers have used computational techniques for many purposes, such as finding hits, modelling drug-protein interactions, and predicting reaction rates.

Cloud Computing

Is moving software to the cloud right for your lab?

14 January 2023

A recurring issue with companies looking to migrate their LIMS and other lab software into the cloud, is that a lot of that hardware or software may be very specialised. It may also have become embedded into the existing lab network, and so is difficult to disentangle, explained James Pena, product manager, digital science at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
