Antibiotics Discovered in Ancient Humans: Molecular De-extinction Opens New Doors for Drug Discovery

The Power of AI: Opening New Frontiers Today our team announces a discovery marking a new chapter in the search for antibiotics and other valuable molecules. With the aid of computers, we can now systematically explore organisms, even those long extinct, expanding our understanding of life’s molecular diversity and sequence space. In previous work, we […]

Unleashing Nature’s Power: Wasp Venom Peptides Hold Promise as Antibacterial Agents

Introduction: In a study published today in Cell Reports Physical Science, our team has made a significant breakthrough in the battle against bacterial infections. By harnessing the antimicrobial properties hidden within the venom of the solitary eumenine wasp Eumenes micado, we have successfully converted venom peptides into potent antimicrobial agents. This approach offers a new […]
