Development of non opioid pain therapeutics

Developing safer, more effective treatments for chronic pain has become a major area of research due to the negative side effects of opioids. This project aims to mediate the intelligent design and development of drugs, that will achieve pain relief without the detrimental side effects of addiction and respiratory depression. The proposed research will use advanced Artificial intelligence (AI) and computer modeling in order to help Zymedyne create new, viable drug-leads, as well as lead to a better understanding of how their current lead drug molecules work.
