APAC takes Centre stage in AI-Driven Drug Discovery The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is rapidly emerging as a leader in AI-driven drug discovery, fuelled by robust research ecosystems and strong industry collaboration. Substantial investments, cutting-edge technologies, and strategic partnerships are optimising drug development efficiency. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become more embedded into many facets of everyday life, it has become an indispensable part of the drug discovery landscape. 2024 was the year of reckoning when AI in drug discovery received the highest validation—three researchers who leveraged the neural network AI programme AlphaFold to predict protein structures won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The industry is pushing ahead, using tech to make the business of drug development faster, safer, and more economical. Morgan Stanley estimates that AI's use in drug development could lead to 50 more successful treatments over a decade, potentially creating a $50 billion market.
