Project Namshub will vastly accelerate the discovery of new drugs across a number of disease areas through the use of our Enki generative AI-based foundation model.
The project will involve the expansion of the Enki platform capabilities to incorporate additional high value biological property prediction functionality to enable the development of truly novel kinase inhibitors.
The project will focus on the extension of the firm's generative AI model to a unified model over a broad set of kinase targets and will include constructing datasets over hundreds of targets, extending the generative model to accommodate many more properties, and improving prediction and optimization capabilities.
