Description

Discovering new medicines has long been a slow, inefficient, and expensive process. Siddhartha Mukherjee, esteemed cancer biologist and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Emperor of All Maladies, is looking to change that. That’s why he partnered with Reid Hoffman to found Manas AI, a company that uses AI to accelerate drug discovery and develop life-saving cures faster and cheaper. He joins Pioneers of AI to discuss which parts of the drug development process are transformed by AI, how generative AI tools based on physics and chemistry differ from other LLMs, and why creating Manas AI was a leap of faith.
