2 years ago Why I am interested in Ersilia? Ersilia is an open-source initiative that aims to provide AI models to enable scientists to make drug discoveries much faster. They are on a mission to make scientific progress accessible to all. They focus on establishing collaborations in low-resourced settings where the costs of drug discovery are prohibitive. There are millions of people who are suffering from neglected diseases and do not provide proper drugs because of the unavailability of drugs.
This Covid disease is itself an example. Many scientists have great ideas to resolve covid issues but because of limitations, they were not able to do. If they were able to implement their ideas then we might not lose our close ones. Covid was a concerning issue. But there are many neglected diseases that should be treated in a proper way.
Ersilia is concerned about these neglected diseases. I want to be part of this revolutionary mission as it can save millions of lives worldwide. It is an honor for me to work with this organization. I want to become a reason for smiling faces (people who get proper medications). I would love to be part of the initiative that will take research in the healthcare system and make new discoveries that ease the lives of millions of people.
@GemmaTuron and @miquelduranfrigola thank you so much for providing this opportunity to us.
