ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
This Conference on Generative AI in Animal Experiments in Pharmacology represents a ground breaking convergence of two distinct fields, artificial intelligence (AI) and pharmacological research involving animal models. This unique conference brings together experts from both domains to explore the potential of generative AI techniques in revolutionizing the way pharmaceutical compounds are tested and evaluated in preclinical studies. By leveraging generative AI algorithms, researchers aim to simulate and predict the effects of drugs on biological systems, reducing the reliance on animal experimentation while maintaining scientific rigor and accuracy. Attendees’ present cutting-edge research on AI-driven drug discovery, computational modelling of drug interactions, and virtual screening of pharmaceutical compounds, showcasing the transformative potential of AI in advancing pharmacological research practices. Furthermore, the conference serves as a catalyst for interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering dialogue between AI developers, pharmacologists, and regulatory authorities to address ethical considerations, regulatory challenges, and the responsible integration of AI technologies in animal experiments within the field of drug development.
The selected abstract will be published in CRC press, Taylor and Francis. Taylor & Francis Group is an international company originating in England that publishes books and academic journals. It is a division of Informa plc, a United Kingdom-based publisher and conference company.
