can SAR .ai

The integrated knowledge-base that brings together multidisciplinary data across biology, chemistry, pharmacology, structural biology, cellular networks and clinical annotations, and applies machine learning approaches to provide drug-discovery useful predictions.

We are in a transition period moving to MD Anderson Cancer Center. There might be glitches while we finalize this and if you find any issues, please contact us via email
