Shared subject first, then similar wording. They may agree or disagree.

• A clinical trial is not only a test of a drug: early trials are experiments whose real product is the human biology data everything downstream is built on. RTRuxandra Teslo28 Feb 2026
• The hard part of drug discovery is knowing what to make - which target is worth drugging - not designing the molecule. ATAlex Telford23 Dec 2023
• Deep learning is not yet ready for the task that would actually add value in drug development: predicting safety and efficacy in humans. ATAlex Telford23 Dec 2023
• The human data an AI model would need to predict trial outcomes can only come from trials in people, so the loop runs no faster than the trials themselves. RTRuxandra Teslo28 Feb 2026
• Standardised manufacturing and documentation cannot be skipped when a drug is given to human beings, because the noise they remove is the noise that would otherwise swallow the answer. DLDerek Lowe1 May 2020
