Robert,
Uh, the U.S. had a taxpayer-funded gain-of-function lab in Wuhan, after decades of open relations with Red China since the time of Nixon! Fat lot of good that foreign aid did us with the global Wu-Flu pandemic!

It seems we have stumbled on drugs that have been repurposed. By accident as opposed to the targeting of drugs that address other medical issues that AI can achieve. And i assume it is the same with the advantages AI has in radiology as a result of the aforementioned speedy pattern recognition. And apparently there is a new AI assisted medical…[Read more]

Jake,
I don’t know if machine learning was involved, but Doctors have discovered that Metformin not only reduces blood sugar, but also has anti-carcinogenic properties and may even be anti-aging.
Anything that can identify multiple genetic interactions or multiple uses for a drug and do it at computing speed would do more to make drugs better…[Read more]

Imagine hospice and despair followed by resignation. And then…!
I posted an article about a start up in Israel. The founder has a kid with autism and there were so few medications developed in last few decades he took matters into own hands in what sounds like sci fi.

I now have “a mind-bending virus” if I don’t agree that Israel should “defend” itself by a program of eradicating and ethnically cleansing Palestinians(?).
