My latest piece is out in Tim Hwang’s blog Macroscience!
There is a computationally tractable and scientifically proven method for overcoming antibiotic resistance: Machine learning prediction and design of antimicrobial peptides.
The problem is, there isn’t enough data to support large machine learning models and no one in science has the incentives to create it.
Targeted investments in data infrastructure can solve this problem and help us conquer super-bugs!
