Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are becoming increasingly important for both basic and translational chemistry research. The Advanced Learning for Innovative Drug Discovery (AIDD) project, a new initiative based at the Helmholtz Zentrum München in Germany and funded by the European Union, will train PhD students in translational research for drug discovery and chemoinformatics. Prof. Hanoch Senderowitz, a leading expert in this expanding field from Bar-Ilan University, will take part in this novel project.
