Using AI to outsmart drug-resistant bacteria
Globally recognized as a silent pandemic, antimicrobial resistance continues to rise as bacteria outpace the development of new antibiotics. When patients stop responding to standard treatments, routine infections can quickly become life-threatening.
At the University of Cambridge, Ben Luisi and his team are combining structural biology with advanced AI tools like AlphaFold, Gemini, and Co-Scientist to decode these hidden defense mechanisms. By compressing a process that once took years into just minutes, they are uncovering the critical insights needed to outsmart bacterial evolution.
