UM uses big data to aid drug nanocrystal development
A research team of the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences (ICMS) of the University of Macau (UM) has developed machine learning algorithms based on big data to predict and assist in the development of nanocrystals for nanopharmaceutical preparations.

The related article has been published in the well-known Journal of Controlled Release.
