AI Discovered Antibiotics: How Small Data & Small GNNs Led to Big Results, w/ MIT Prof. Jim Collins

A 2,500-compound dataset and graph neural network raised antibiotic-screening hit rates from below 1% to 51%-52%, producing halicin after screening 6,100 additional molecules for efficacy, safety, and novelty.AI can search chemical spaces no laboratory could physically cover, but clinical trials remain the dominant cost and models still struggle with solubility, PK/PD, animal translation, and resistance, keeping medicinal-chemist judgment and public-private funding central.
