Predictive Models to Design and Develop New Antibiotics Derived from the Community for Open Antimicrobial Drug Discovery [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description With the rise of infections from multidrug-resistant bacteria, and limited antibiotics in the development pipeline, new strategies are required to generate novel antibiotics. This project will apply artificial intelligence methods to study a unique dataset generated over five years with the help of over 300 academic groups around the world. It will produce predictive models that will then be applied to design new antibiotics, which will be synthesized and tested for antimicrobial activity.
