Through cutting-edge methods and advanced artificial intelligence analysis, UNC Charlotte researchers leading a ...

Genome engineering allows scientists to modify the genetic code of microbes. Now, researchers have engineered the genome of the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) to make it immune to viral ...

Can AI create a life form? These “generative” genomes are a start Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team ...

Scientists have created the first ever viruses designed by artificial intelligence (AI), and they’re capable of hunting down and killing strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli). “This is the first time ...

Cancer research has long looked at bacteria and viruses as separate tools for therapy. Now, researchers are showing that the two can actually work better together. A team of scientists has built a new ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team. In a study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the Synthetic Biological ...

Every year, around 600 million people are struck down by foodborne illnesses. The culprits are often common yet dangerous bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella, that thrive in undercooked or ...

Instead of bacteria and viruses burdening us with disease, what if we flipped the script and used their natural talents to give dangerous tumors an infection as a way of fighting cancer? Microbes come ...

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat, one that health officials say could lead to 10 million deaths by 2050. It’s a scenario that makes discovering new ways to combat drug-resistant infections ...

Scientists have engineered a groundbreaking cancer treatment that uses bacteria to smuggle viruses directly into tumors, bypassing the immune system and delivering a powerful one-two punch against ...
