Drug Discovery

Researchers at EPFL have developed Synthegy, an AI framework that lets chemists guide complex molecule synthesis using simple language instructions. The system combines traditional algorithms with large language models to evaluate and rank reaction pathways. It also aids in understanding reaction mechanisms, potentially speeding up drug discovery.

Researchers have discovered that combining silybin and carvedilol is more effective against liver fibrosis than either drug alone. The pair targets key drivers of liver scarring, reducing collagen buildup in experimental models. Both drugs are already approved for other uses, paving the way for quick clinical testing.
