Smarter, faster research and development with AWS and NVIDIA

Drug discovery is a complex, costly, and high-risk process. But with generative AI powered by AWS and NVIDIA, biopharma companies can accelerate research and development, reduce costs, and improve the chances of clinical success.

Join us for an engaging webinar where we explore how AI-driven tools are transforming drug discovery from target identification and protein design to virtual screening and lead optimisation.

Learn how generative AI models can help you handle massive, multi-modal datasets, predict molecular interactions, and quickly generate novel drug candidates. We’ll also discuss how AWS and NVIDIA’s purpose-built solutions—from scalable cloud infrastructure to advanced AI microservices—make it easier to deploy and scale AI models for drug discovery.

Key topics include:
  • AI-driven data integration and analysis
  • Virtual screening, protein structure prediction, and de novo drug design
  • Accelerating generative AI model deployment with AWS and NVIDIA

    Whether you're in biopharma, AI development, or data science, this webinar will provide actionable insights to accelerate your drug discovery efforts and bring innovative treatments to market faster.
