How a researcher uses Codex and ChatGPT to search for new antimicrobial molecules

César de la Fuente's lab employs AI technologies like Codex and ChatGPT to search for antimicrobial candidates within living and extinct genomes. The research focuses on identifying new candidates to combat drug-resistant infections, representing a significant step in addressing the growing challenges of treatment-resistant infections. This innovative technique is revolutionary in molecular biology, allowing for rapid and efficient analysis of vast amounts of genetic data. By integrating AI, researchers can uncover genetic patterns that may be invisible through traditional methods. This approach can significantly accelerate the drug discovery process.
