LG AI Research has entered into a collaboration with D&D Pharmatech to advance the discovery of next-generation oral peptide drugs. The announcement was made on
The partnership brings together LG AI Research's artificial intelligence and machine learning expertise with D&D Pharmatech's specialized knowledge in peptide therapeutics. The goal is to accelerate the development of oral peptide drugs, which are considered a promising area in pharmaceutical research.
Oral peptide drugs have historically been challenging to develop because peptides are typically broken down in the digestive system before they can reach their target. The collaboration aims to overcome these barriers using AI-driven design and optimization.
D&D Pharmatech brings its platform for discovering and developing peptide-based therapeutics. LG AI Research contributes its advanced AI models for molecular design and prediction. Together, they hope to identify peptide candidates that can be administered orally rather than by injection.
The collaboration represents a significant step in applying artificial intelligence to the field of peptide drug discovery. If successful, the partnership could lead to new treatment options that are more convenient for patients through oral administration.
LG AI Research has been expanding its work in applying AI to scientific problems, including drug discovery. D&D Pharmatech is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing peptide therapeutics for various diseases. The specific financial terms of the collaboration were not disclosed in the announcement.
