Briefing
  • 3D Protein Generator – Researchers at University of Toronto Scarborough developed machine learning algorithms that can generate 3D structures of protein molecules
  • Better than Existing Methods – Process takes minutes and requires single computer, compared to several days to weeks and as much as 500,000 CPU hours on multiple computers using existing methods
  • Enable Drug Discovery – Observing protein molecules in 3D can enable discovery of drugs for vast number of diseases and contribute to better understanding of how life works at atomic level
