New Molecule Discovery with DeepChem
We're really into OpenSource #AI, so naturally, we've been really excited about DeepChem. DeepChem is the work of Stanford PhD student Bharath Ramsundar: It's a python library that aims to make the use of machine-learning in drug discovery straightforward and convenient. DeepChem has grown through the contributions of a number of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers working with the Pande lab. Development and documentation live on Github.
This event is co-hosted with the AI+ Student Group at Stanford. Thanks Team! It is Free for Stanford students.

Bharath Ramsundar received a BA and BS from UC Berkeley in EECS and Mathematics and was valedictorian of his graduating class in mathematics. He is currently a PhD student in computer science at Stanford University with the Pande group. His research focuses on the application of deep-learning to drug-discovery. In particular, Bharath is the creator and lead-developer of DeepChem, an open source package that aims to democratize the use of deep-learning in drug-discovery and quantum chemistry. He is supported by a Hertz Fellowship, the most selective graduate fellowship in the sciences.
