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. There was little time to spare. “Making new drugs takes forever,” says Caroline Uhler, a computational biologist in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Institute for Data, Systems and Society, and an associate member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. “Really, the only expedient option is to repurpose existing drugs.”Uhler’s team has now developed…
