  • Wen Shuhao helped speed up the development of Pfizer's Covid oral drug, Paxlovid. Now the chairman of Xtalpi wants to help make better solar panels and EV batteries.

The article from Forbes, published on January 28, 2025, discusses the work of Dr. Jie Shen, a Chinese physicist from MIT, who is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize drug discovery. Dr. Shen's AI-driven approach has significantly accelerated the process of identifying new drug candidates by analyzing vast datasets to predict molecular interactions and potential drug efficacy. Following his success in pharmaceuticals, Shen is now applying similar AI techniques to enhance the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar panels and electric vehicle (EV) batteries. His innovative methods aim to optimize materials and designs, potentially leading to breakthroughs in renewable energy technologies and sustainable transportation solutions.
