Harnessing generative AI to treat undruggable diseases

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed an AI-based platform that designs short proteins, termed peptides, capable of binding and destroying previously undruggable disease-causing proteins. Inspired by OpenAI’s image generation model, their new algorithm can rapidly prioritize peptides for experimental testing.

The work appeared Jan. 22 in the journal Science Advances.
