AI4AMR Deep learning analysis of imaging and metabolomic data to accelerate antibiotic discovery against antimicrobial resistance

Coordinator: INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE (FR)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing global health problems of our times. To counteract AMR, we urgently need new antibiotics, particularly with novel modes of action (MoA). However, while typical antibiotic screening pipelines can identify compounds that impair bacterial growth, they are unable to predict drug targets and MoA so must be followed up by time-consuming target identification steps. By synergizing our expertise in microbiology, genetics, advanced microscopy, metabolomics, medicinal chemistry, computational biology and artificial intelligence (AI), we propose…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €11.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2025-04-01 to 2031-03-31.
