Description
In episode 5, Farm to Pharma, we talk to Dr. Dan McKay about his career in the pharmaceutical industry (he grew up on a Farm! See what we did there … ?). As a pioneer in the applied use of quantum mechanics, Dan describes his break into the industry from academia, his realization of the critical importance of water in understanding ‘what’s going on’, and offers some pointed observations on the applicability of artificial intelligence and machine learning in drug discovery. Throughout our time with him, Dan’s stories paint a vivid and exciting picture of what it means to support a modern discovery effort. Also, in a first for Under the Surface, we ask something of you, our audience. Can you help us, help Dan?
