New research leverages machine learning to discover novel peptides

EVANSTON, Ill.—A new study by Northwestern Professor and IIN Associate Director Nathan Gianneschi and team leverages machine learning to discover novel peptides by combining computer algorithms with synthesis rather than via phage display, mutation or guesswork. The discovery has broad potential impact in medicine and new materials.
