AI for drug discovery: Our focus on emerging infectious diseases

The drug discovery process typically takes 10-15 years to take one drug candidate from initial discovery through to market approval, and costs over $1Bn. A cross-disciplinary team at CSIRO supported by the Minimising Antimicrobial Resistance Mission, the Infectious Disease Resilience Mission, and the AI4Missions initiative are developing new AI tools to accelerate this process and significantly reduce the costs involved in the lead up to clinical trials.

Causal inference in complex multiscale systems

The Causal inference and prediction in high dimensional multi-scale systems project seeks to identify robust relationships between climate and socio-economic impacts.
