CELL PRESS Researchers at Columbia University have developed AwareDX–Analysing Women At Risk for Experiencing Drug toXicity–a machine learning algorithm that identifies and predicts differences in adverse drug effects between men and women by analyzing 50 years’ worth of reports in an FDA database. The algorithm, described September 22 in the journal Patterns, automatically corrects for the...

AI is going to look for signs of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases in patient’s eyes
Artificial intelligence is going to change everything, because it can analyse vast amounts of data very quickly and very accurately. It can also pay attention to the detail in a way that humans cannot match. Now scientists at Newcastle University want to employ AI to diagnose neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s from eye...

Powerful antibiotics discovered using AI
Machine learning spots molecules that work even against ‘untreatable’ strains of bacteria. Jo Marchant A pioneering machine-learning approach has identified powerful new types of antibiotic from a pool of more than 100 million molecules — including one that works against a wide range of bacteria, including tuberculosis and strains considered untreatable. Antibiotic resistance has a...

How an AI solution can design new tuberculosis drug regimens
by Jim Lynch, University of Michigan Credit: CC0 Public Domain With a shortage of new tuberculosis drugs in the pipeline, a software tool from the University of Michigan can predict how current drugs—including unlikely candidates—can be combined in new ways to create more effective treatments. “This could replace our traditional trial-and-error system for drug development that is comparatively...
