What if I’m an expert in applying AI to therapeutic discovery, but I use traditional methods for therapeutic target identification?

This initiative specifically requires the use of AI-driven approaches for therapeutic target identification. Other forms of AI expertise may still be valuable—particularly for downstream validation—but participation must involve methods that meet the AI-based identification requirement. Forming teams that include specialists in AI-driven target identification is encouraged, and upcoming networking and hackathon sessions are designed to support these collaborations.
