Simulated Chemistry: New AI Platform Designs Tomorrow’s Cancer Drugs |
Scientists at UC San Diego, including the study’s senior author and Moores Member, Trey Ideker, PhD, have developed a machine learning algorithm to simulate the time-consuming chemistry involved in the earliest phases of drug discovery, which could streamline the process and open doors for never-before-seen treatments.

Dr. Shiri Gur-Cohen Receives Prestigious V Foundation Grant |
Congratulations to Shiri Gur-Cohen, PhD, who has received a prestigious grant from the V Foundation for Cancer Research, with support from the Michael Toshio Cure for Cancer Foundation, for her groundbreaking work on drug-resistant cancers.
Dr. Gur-Cohen's study, "Decoding Stem Cell-Niche Dependencies in Driving Tumor Evolution and Therapy Resistance," elucidates how tumor cells interact with lymphatic vessels to resist therapy and aims to prevent cancer relapse by targeting these supportive networks.
