A team of researchers at the University of Washington has used artificial intelligence (AI) to design synthetic proteins that neutralise lethal snake venom faster, more effectively, and at a lower cost than traditional anti-venom, according to Nvidia. Led by computational biologist Susana Vazquez Torres in Nobel laureate David Baker’s lab, the team developed these proteins using deep learning models. Their study, published in Nature, demonstrates that AI-designed proteins successfully protected animals from fatal venom toxins in laboratory tests.
