Drug Candidates as Pareto Optima in Chemical Space

Project Heads

Konstantin Fackeldey, Christof Schütte, Vikram Sunkara, Jörg Rademann, Marcus Weber, Stefanie Winkelmann

Project Members

Christopher Secker

Project Duration

01.01.2024 − 31.12.2025

Located at

ZIB

Description

Finding drug candidates with mild side effects leads to a multiobjective optimization problem (MOOP) in chemical space. An AI-based generative model will provide possible drug candidates beyond yet known chemical substances. The convergence of respective MOOP solvers will be re-framed.
