McMaster's Stokes Lab releases free ESKAPE AI model to screen antibacterial compounds
Overview
McMaster University's Stokes Lab has released ESKAPE, a free AI model that predicts which chemical compounds may kill dangerous bacteria.
Researchers upload a list of compounds and receive antibacterial activity predictions, and they keep ownership of their discoveries without having to share the compounds they submit. Jonathan Stokes, a microbiologist who runs the lab, says all that is needed is an internet connection. Semafor reports that the model has screened more than 12 million molecules and can process over 40,000 compounds a day.

AIMcMaster University researchers released ESKAPE, a free AI model that predicts which chemical compounds might kill dangerous bacteria. Researchers upload compound lists and receive antibacterial activity predictions, and they retain ownership of their discoveries. So far the model has screened more than 12 million molecules and can process over 40,000 compounds a day.
