Andrew Hopkins and Algorithmic Drug Design

December 13, 2012 | University of Dundee researchers are applying advanced statistics and data analysis to drug discovery. Andrew Hopkins, Chair of Medicinal Informatics at Dundee, says he and his colleagues have "effectively proved the concept of automated design of new compounds showing that by using algorithms to process massive amounts of data, we can tackle problems of huge complexity." The work was published yesterday in Nature. BBC
