Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats facing humanity today, making the need for new antibiotics more critical than ever. Traditional approaches to antibiotic discovery are painstakingly slow, often taking years to identify preclinical candidates. In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, our team introduces APEX, a new AI model […]

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest threats facing humanity and novel antibiotics are urgently needed. In a recent study published in Cell, our team, along with fantastic collaborators, leveraged computational techniques to accelerate the search for new antimicrobial compounds, specifically focusing on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). By employing advanced genome mining methods, we identified […]
