A machine-learning approach to finding treatment options for COVID-19: Researchers develop a system to identify drugs that might be repurposed to fight the coronavirus in elderly patients – Science Daily
Researchers have developed a machine-learning approach to identify drugs that could be repurposed to fight COVID-19. The advance could boost clinical trial efforts,…
When the Covid-19 pandemic struck in early 2020, doctors and researchers rushed to find effective treatments.
