The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has awarded a Pilot and Feasibility Grant to the University of Manitoba Interdisciplinary team formed by Silvia Cardona, Rebecca Davis, and Pingzhao Hu. Together, the group will combine their expertise in chemogenomics, cheminfomatics and artificial intelligence to develop an in silico tool to predict antibiotic activity in Burkholderia cepacia complex, followed by experimental validation of predictions. Credits go to lab members Md. Mohaiminul Islam, Kevin Jeffers, Andrew M. Hogan and Qian Liu for producing amazing preliminary results!
