MIT leads up to $53 million ARPA-H effort on AI-designed herbicides
Overview
MIT researchers will lead an effort worth up to $53 million, awarded by ARPA-H under its STREAM program, to develop next-generation herbicides that are more effective and safer for human health.
MIT News reports that the team will use generative AI models to design candidate molecules that resist resistance mutations. Greenhouse tests of initial candidates are expected by the end of the program's first year.
