Using AI to find the next blockbuster drug
This week, AI chipmaker Nvidia placed their bet — investing $50M into AI drug discovery platform Recursion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:RXRX) — sending its stock up 78%.
Drugmakers are already benefiting from using AI to discover new drugs. And in the process, AI is speeding up and reducing the cost of the long and expensive drug development process.
Between 2015 and 2022, the cumulative investment in AI drug development has risen from under $1B to $24.6B.
In the next decade, Morgan Stanley expects AI will help develop an additional 50 drugs with an extra $50B in sales.
Following Nvidia’s investment, other AI drug discovery platforms rose on the news, including Exscientia (NASDAQ:EXAI), AbCellera Biologics (NASDAQ:ABCL) and Relay Therapeutics (NASDAQ:RLAY).
Recursion has five drugs, and Exscientia has three drugs discovered with AI, which are already in human trials. And within the startup sector, AI drug discovery has quickly become one of the hottest markets for investment.
