Super inspiring. Besides compiling and sharing the literature, how important is for the Drug Hunter team to share their own independent insights, expert opinion/readout on the molecule being covered. Thanks

Hi Gagan,
Thanks for your kind words.
At Drug Hunter, our mission is to share the knowledge and learnings acquired by drug discovery teams across the industry with scientists actively engaged in the drug discovery. We aim to facilitate easy access to the primary sources we use, enabling our readers to delve deeper into specific topics if the wish.
In "Molecules of the Month" and "Patent Highlights" we follow a rigorous editorial selection process, as detailed by Dennis here: drughunter.com/blog/how-do-you-choose-the-molecules
We believe that providing expert opinions is crucial, and we ensure our expressed opinions are well-grounded in facts and thorough analysis. Hope that helps.

How much AI assistance the team makes use of while writing these super exciting articles and how do you foresee AI contributing further in your journey. Thanks

Hi Gagan,
Thank you so much for this important question. We utilize ML and AI tools to helps us research and filter the vast amount of publications, patents and other sources produced every month. However, our validation and selection process is performed by experts in the field. All of our content is human-written and not generated by generative AI.
Looking ahead, we envision further leveraging AI in research and in enhanced search, but it is hard to imaging AI displacing the level of scientific talent on the team!
