Photonics + AI: Revolutionizing in Silico Drug Design
Author(s): Ndenga Lumbu Barack*
The convergence of photonics and artificial intelligence (AI) marks the beginning of a new era in computational pharmacology. Traditional in silico drug design, while powerful, remains fundamentally constrained by the sequential nature and limited processing speed of electronic computation. Molecular interactions-complex, multidimensional, and dynamic-often require extensive time and energy to simulate, delaying the path from molecular hypothesis to therapeutic validation. This study introduces the Photonically-Assisted AI Drug Design Pipeline (PAI-DDP), a hybrid computational framework that integrates photonic computation for ultrafast simulation of molecular interactions and AI-driven algorithms for predictive optimization of drug candidates. In this system, photons replace electrons as carriers of information, enabling parallel data processing at the speed of light, while.. Read More»
