AI Can Now Design Functional Viruses
Stanford researchers designed 16 AI-generated viruses capable of infecting antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Researchers at Stanford University have designed 16 viruses using AI, which can infect E. coli strains resistant to natural viruses. This breakthrough suggests a future where custom phage therapies could combat bacterial infections that antibiotics cannot treat.
