AI-driven drug repurposing identifies new uses for existing drugs by analyzing:

  1. Molecular similarity
  2. Gene expression signatures
  3. Clinical trial data
  4. All of these

Answer: All of these

Machine learning integrates chemical, genomic, clinical data to predict drug-disease associations. Accelerates therapy discovery (e.g., baricitinib for COVID-19). CSIR-OSDD pioneered open-source repurposing platforms. [[CSIR, ICMR Reports]]
