Award to Chemia Biosciences, Inc. to develop computational tools for discovering new fungal natural products to combat drug-resistant infections, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
Description
This project aims to develop computational tools to discover new fungal natural products, which are a critical source of antibiotics and other medicines. By linking genomic data to chemical products, the platform will expand the pipeline of novel compounds with the potential to treat drug-resistant infections. The outcomes will support public health by accelerating the discovery of therapeutics to address antimicrobial resistance.
