Assistant Professor Alberto Perez and his team have created a groundbreaking AI-driven algorithm, the AF-CBA Pipeline, to efficiently identify molecular interactions between proteins and peptides with high accuracy and speed. This tool, which leverages advances in computational technology and AI, particularly building on Google Deepmind's AlphaFold, aims to facilitate the development of targeted therapies for diseases by predicting the structure of peptide binders to problematic proteins, with initial focus on combating viruses like murine leukemia virus and Kaposi’s sarcoma virus.
