The rise of artificial intelligence in drug discovery:
Challenges and opportunities

Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has seen increasing adoption across the whole drug discovery process. From early-stage discovery to the approval stage, AI tools and approaches promise to accelerate and improve drug discovery. At the same time, challenges such as access to high-quality training data are becoming more apparent, leading to a stronger focus on questions of data, metadata, and data stewardship.

This Patterns special collection aims to bring together thought leaders from academia and industry, showcasing original research, review articles, and other available article types in Patterns pertaining to the application of AI in drug discovery. When submitting your paper, please mention in your cover letter that the paper is submitted to the special collection: AI in drug discovery.

Patterns promotes all types of cross-disciplinary data science research and outputs. The topics of the special collection include, but are not limited to:

• AI applications in the discovery stage and in preclinical research (synthesis of biomedical information, novel target identification, generative chemistry, etc.)
   
• AI applications for clinical development of novel drug candidates, including analysis of real-world evidence
   
• Generation, capture, and integration of relevant data and metadata suitable for AI applications in drug discovery
   
• Data standards, data stewardship, governance, and FAIR compliance
   
• Benchmarking of AI tools and software against conventional industry approaches
   
• Novel AI techniques (reinforcement learning, DRL, federated learning, etc.) and their role in drug discovery

We welcome manuscripts presenting original research studies and reviews. Deadline for submissions to this special collection is December 31, 2021. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the guide for authors and should be submitted online.

TOP STORY

Leading up to its fifteenth General Conference—scheduled from 1 to 4 November in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, but whose events will mostly take place online due to the anti-COVID-19 measures—TWAS launched the first TWAS Awards Webinar Series with a line-up of five online webinars to be held by the end of October. The webinars showcase the winners of TWAS Awards and awards in honour of TWAS Fellows. The first webinar on agricultural sciences took place on 10 June. The second, on 8 July, presented the achievements in social and economic sciences of Juan Chi-Hung, of Taiwan, China, co-winner of the 2020 TWAS Award in Social Sciences; Ayodele Samuel Jegede, of Nigeria, co-winner of the 2020 TWAS Award in Social Sciences; and Yang Cuihong, of China, winner of the 2020 TWAS-Siwei Cheng Award in Economic Sciences.
