Pitchworks GCC -and Pitchworks VC Studio Group has built. Trial-and-Error to GenAI: How Drug-Target Prediction Transformed Pharma
P
What once took years of lab experiments and trial-and-error in pharmaceutical R&D now takes hours with Generative AI. This video explores how Drug-Target Interaction (DTI) prediction has evolved—transitioning from manual testing and basic simulation tools to AI-first platforms powered by graph neural networks (GNNs), transformers, and deep generative models.
Traditional Era:
Manual lab-based screening, slow wet-lab assays, physical compound libraries, and limited computational support.
💻 Early Digital Era:
Use of basic QSAR models, early molecular docking software like AutoDock and SwissDock, and structure-based drug design tools—still time-consuming and limited in prediction accuracy.
🤖 GenAI-Powered Era:
Advanced Generative AI tools now automate molecule design, predict protein-ligand binding affinity, simulate 3D structures, and even optimize ADMET properties—all with cloud computing and real-time AI inference.
🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
How DTI prediction used to work without AI or computers
Key turning points in computational drug discovery
The role of AlphaFold, DeepChem, MolBERT, and REINVENT in modern pharma pipelines
Real-world benefits of AI in drug development: faster hit discovery, lower R&D costs, and smarter molecule design
