Machine learning platform mines nature for new drugs

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University’s Computational Biology Department in the School of Computer Science have developed a new process that could reinvigorate the search for natural product drugs to treat cancers, viral infections and other ailments. The machine learning algorithms developed by the Metabolomics and Metagenomics Lab match the signals of a microbe’s metabolites with… Read More: Machine learning platform mines nature for new drugs »

Researchers use machine learning to identify autism blood biomarkers

Using machine learning tools to analyze hundreds of proteins, UT Southwestern researchers have identified a group of biomarkers in blood that could lead to an earlier diagnosis of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and, in turn, more effective therapies sooner. The identification of nine serum proteins that strongly predict ASD were reported in a… Read More: Researchers use machine learning to identify autism blood biomarkers »

‘We’re learning more about long lasting damage of coronavirus’

Many commentators are ­saying Covid-19 will be with us for some time. Indeed, I believe it’s with us for good. We just have to learn to manage it and live with it. Safely. But something else that will stay with us for some time is the complications of Covid-19. Respiratory ­symptoms in particular could last… Read More: ‘We’re learning more about long lasting damage of coronavirus’ »
