Understanding genomic variation associated with AMR using AI and machine learning techniques LSHTM

Drugs against diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites have transformed human health and saved millions of lives. Nevertheless, their widespread use and misuse has led to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance that poses a potentially catastrophic threat to public health. The increasing power of genomic sequencing is offering new ways to rapidly detect and respond to the development of antimicrobial resistance. The availability of this wealth of data, along with the latest developments in artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML) techniques, allows the development of sophisticated approaches that can fully leverage this data to pre-empt the effects of potential resistance mutations. Our recent research will be presented into the development a robust and automated in silico framework to identify and understand the molecular consequences of single nucleotide polymorphisms that lead to therapeutic failure.
