<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michigan State University researchers have led the development of a new artificial intelligence (AI) program that can help speed up and reduce the cost of drug development. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The program is called TopoFormer and is based on the same technology that underlies ChatGPT. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">TopoFormer empowers conventional computer models used in drug discovery to incorporate important information that they previously couldn’t use to offer more robust predictions of how a drug will interact with its biological target.</span></li>
