I just finished the 'Machine Learning for Drug Discovery' course and I'm really satisfied with what I learned. The instructors did a great job explaining complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way. I liked that the course included real-world examples of how machine learning is used in drug discovery, it made the material more interesting and relevant. One thing that really stood out to me was the project we worked on, where we had to use machine learning algorithms to predict drug efficacy. It was a great way to apply what we learned and see the practical side of things. The course materials were good, but sometimes the videos were a bit long. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to learn about machine learning in drug discovery.
