A Faster Response to Biothreats

Using a neural network and machine learning, a U-M research team, supported by the Blue Sky Initiative, will streamline the process of identifying promising nanoparticles to serve as the next generation of antimicrobials. The work could curb dangerous drug-resistant bacteria, lower drug R&D costs and shorten the time it takes to get new effective medications on the market.
