Speaker: Andrejs Tucs; Host: Xi Chen
Motivation:
Antibiotic resistance is a serious and immediate threat against humanity as currently available antibiotics become increasingly obsolete. Antimicrobial peptides are a possible solution to this problem. This talk will be about a peptide-specialized generative model called PepGAN that takes the balance between covering active peptides and dodging nonactive ones.
