A lecture by prof.dr.sc. Igor Štagljar (University of Toronto, Canada) “From Algorithm to Drug: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Oncology”
We want to inform everyone interested that the eminent scientist from University of Toronto, Canada, prof.dr.sc. Igor Štagljar, will give a lecture on a theme "From Algorithm to Drug: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Oncology" on Wednesday, April 2nd 2025 at 3 pm.
The lecture is based on a recently published paper of professor Štagljar and his associates, which came out in the Nature Biotechnology magazine. (Ghazi Vakili, M et al. Quantum-computing-enhanced algorithm unveils potential KRAS inhibitors. Nat Biotechnol (2025). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-024-02526-3 ).
During this lecture, we will have an opportunity to hear first hand how to shorten the time period required to identify the prototypes of drugs and to get to the preclinical examinations with the help of artificial intelligence and quantum computers, mainly the drugs which target the KRAS-mutation genes which are related to tumors.
