In-depth analysis of biotech, pharma, and the life sciencesIn-depth analysis of biotech, pharma, and the life sciencesor decades, discovering novel antibiotics meant digging through the same patch of dirt. Biologists spent countless hours screening soil-dwelling microbes for properties known to kill harmful bacteria. But as superbugs resistant to existing antibiotics have spread widely, breakthroughs were becoming as rare as new places to dig.Now, artificial intelligence is giving scientists a reason to dramatically expand their search into databases of molecules that look nothing like existing antibiotics.Unlock this article by subscribing to STAT+ and enjoy your first 30 days free!Comments are closed.advertisementYou've been selected!
