AI-crafted viruses that eat bacteria: Scientists say the medical breakthrough has already begun

Wait 5 sec.

Scientists have leveraged Artificial Intelligence to design entirely new bacteriophages, viruses capable of attacking and killing bacteria. Researchers at Stanford and Arc Institute successfully created functional phages, with some proving more potent than natural counterparts against E. coli. This breakthrough offers a promising avenue for combating drug-resistant superbugs by enabling tailored phage therapies and exploring novel genetic combinations.
