This course is tailored for individuals actively involved in small-molecule drug discovery, including researchers, pharmaceutical professionals, medicinal chemists, machine learning engineers, data scientists, computational chemists, and cheminformaticians. The content is designed to empower participants with the skills needed to effectively apply artificial intelligence in the pursuit of accelerating and optimizing the small-molecules drug discovery process.


No, a background in artificial intelligence is not required for enrollment. This course covers foundational skills, including the theoretical background of the algorithms and their working principles. It is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding for individuals at various levels of expertise, making it accessible to beginners in the field of artificial intelligence for drug discovery.


Yes, a strong background in cheminformatics and machine learning for small-molecule drug discovery is crucial for this course. Given the complexity of the field and the necessity to handle chemical and biological data correctly, it is essential to have prior knowledge in these areas. Additionally, understanding how to identify and manage data biases in chemical data is of utmost importance, and these critical topics are covered in the Advanced Machine Learning for Drug Discovery course. We highly recommend completing that course before enrolling in this curriculum to ensure a comprehensive foundation.


In this course, you will gain comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in applying artificial intelligence, deep learning, and reinforcement learning to the field of small-molecule drug discovery. Specific topics include molecular data representation, neural networks, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), reinforcement learning techniques, and their applications in drug discovery. Additionally, you will engage in hands-on projects and quizzes, allowing you to implement learned concepts in real-world scenarios.


Yes, absolutely! We encourage participants to explore reimbursement options from their company or university. Many organizations have a Learning and Development (L&D) budget set aside for employee training and upskilling initiatives. We recommend reaching out to your manager or supervisor to inquire about the availability of such a budget and the process for reimbursement. If you have any questions or need assistance in navigating this process, feel free to reach out to us at suppor@]neovarsity.org or start an online chat. We're available 24x7 to help you.


The course is designed to be completed within 12-14 weeks. We recommend dedicating at least 6 hours per week to fully benefit from the course content and to ensure adequate practice.


You will have access to the course for 1 year from the date of your registration. Instructor support is available for 3 months from the day of your registration.


Yes, the course includes 8 mid-course capstone projects, 1 final capstone project, and 6 quizzes that allow you to apply the concepts learned in real-world scenarios, enhancing your understanding and skills.


Yes, upon completing the course and passing all quizzes and submitting all capstone projects, you will receive a certificate of completion.
