Researchers and scientists are making significant strides in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by leveraging AI and traditional wet lab work. Dr. George Church and team have developed a deep learning model to predict molecules with antibacterial activity, leading to the discovery of a compound named halicin with broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. Additionally, an international study, involving researchers at Maynooth University, has created a new molecule to combat bacteria with antimicrobial resistance. These developments are crucial in addressing the global health concern of AMR, which is projected to worsen over time due to the insidious spread of drug-resistant superbugs in a warming world.
