Thrilled to share that two of our papers with the @jrpenades lab & @GoogleDeepMind are now out in @CellPressNews 1️⃣Microbial piracy: https://t.co/BlYJZ06Cwi 2️⃣AI co-scientist mirrors experimental science: https://t.co/dQXZKKotis @imperialcollege @ImperialLifeSci @CBRB_Imperial

Please RT. Post-doc opportunity alert! 💥 closing 10th December.. Come join our team ( https://t.co/Q2PixVbm9k) at Imperial, London, working on the structure and mechanism of bacterial secretion systems. For more details and to apply please see https://t.co/ko2GpcLRkW

The AI co-scientist from @GoogleAI is proving itself more than a novelty. In two bio studies, it generated promising, testable hypotheses that could have taken years of lab work to uncover. With insights from @vivnat, @KyleWSwanson, and other experts.

When resistance genes jump between species of bacteria, they spread far beyond their original hosts. New @imperialcollege research explains how these "pirate" phages fuel antimicrobial resistance:

Now online! Chimeric infective particles expand species boundaries in phage-inducible chromosomal island mobilization

@jrpenades @CostaT_Lab had a paper in peer review marking a pivotal milestone from years of work, describing a novel mechanism for gene transfer through 'microbial piracy'. Their work revealed how mobile genetic elements "cf-PICIs" hijack the tails from viruses to create hybrid

It's an extraordinary privilege to work on AI systems with such a profound potential to super-charge science, not by replacing human insight, but by accelerating it. The true impact comes from collaborating with experts like @jrpenades @CostaT_Lab to tackle biomedicine's great

Now online! AI mirrors experimental science to uncover a mechanism of gene transfer crucial to bacterial evolution

Our partners at @Imperial College London used @GoogleDeepMind's AI co-scientist to focus on the most promising directions to investigate antibiotic resistance; performing years of work in days. This is great example on how AI will super-charge Science for the benefit of humanity.

Imperial scientists found how ‘pirate phages’ hijack viruses to spread traits like antibiotic resistance 🏴‍☠️ Tested using @GoogleDeepMind’s AI ‘co-scientist’ in a project coordinated by the @FlemingCentre, the work could help in the fight against AMR 👇 https://t.co/r2tNJOV6PH

Did you know viruses can hijack other viruses? 😲🦠 Imperial researchers found that ‘pirate phages’ swap parts to sneak into bacteria — a discovery that could be harnessed to tackle #AntibioticResistance. @ImperialInfect #AMR

During Thanksgiving break last year, our AI co-scientist team @GoogleDeepMind @GoogleResearch - @Mysiak @alan_karthi met Prof @jrpenades @CostaT_Lab of @ImperialCollege. They were nearing a breakthrough on how bacteria share resistance genes and proposed a test for our AI

Our second paper with @CostaT_Lab and @GoogleDeepMind reports our experience with Google’s co-scientist: remarkably, the AI independently recapitulated our experimental discovery on cf-PICIs, showcasing AI’s potential to accelerate biology.  https://t.co/7P0IgwGkzq

Thrilled to share our two latest papers with the @CostaT_Lab! In the first, we uncover a new mechanism of satellite transfer: cf-PICIs hijack tails from diverse phages to spread across species.  @imperialcollege @CBRB_Imperial https://t.co/SjbmXDpARJ

Read more about AI co-scientist here, including novel and useful medical insights it has already discovered! Better understanding the universe around us has always been my passion and primary motivation for building AI - a dream that now feels very close.

Does every scientist need an AI co-scientist? We sat down with @jrpenades & @CostaT_Lab, two @imperialcollege professors putting @google's new 'AI co-scientist' tool to the test. How long did it take AI to solve the mystery they'd spent a decade trying to figure out? 🧵

Great to see our @GoogleDeepMind @GoogleAI AI co-scientist innovations (multi-agent idea generation tournament) ship fast with @googlecloud Agentspace! Incredible shipping momentum at @Google! 🚢 Agentspace - https://t.co/g8DKaHiNHG AI co-scientist - https://t.co/znsYCFv1WI
