Welcome to our milestone 100th episode of AI in Action, the podcast that breaks down the hype and explores the impact that Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are making on our everyday lives.

Powered by Alldus International, our goal is to share with you the insights of technologists and data science enthusiasts to showcase the excellent work that is being done within AI in the United States and Europe.

Today’s guest is Melissa Landon, VP and Chief Strategist at Cyclica. Cyclica is a Toronto-Based globally recognized biotechnology company that leverages AI and computational biophysics to reshape the drug discovery process. Cyclica’s proprietary structure-based and AI-augmented drug discovery platform includes Ligand Design for multi-targeted and multi-objective drug design, and Ligand Express for off-target profiling, systems biology linkages, and structural pharmacogenomic insights.

Taken together, Ligand Design and Ligand Express design advanced lead-like molecules that minimize unwanted off-target effects, while providing a holistic understanding of a molecule’s activity through integrated systems biology and structural pharmacogenomics. By doing more with Artificial Intelligence, Cyclica aims to revolutionize a system troubled with attrition and costly failures, accelerate the drug discovery process and develop medicines with greater precision.
