Five PandemicStop-AI labs, led by Yves Brun, Anne Marinier, Audrey Durand, Flavie Lavoie-Cardinal and Alex Hernandez-Garcia, recently hosted a delegation from the Pasteur Institute and the University of Würzburg at the Université de Montréal.
Over four days, researchers exchanged insights on AI and antimicrobial resistance, with presentations including machine learning–guided bacterial image analysis, GFlowNets for scientific discovery, and phage–bacteria dynamics. Participants also shared overviews of PandemicStop-AI, UdeM’s Drug Discovery Unit (DDU), and Pasteur’s ERC project “AI4AMR: Deep learning analysis of imaging and metabolomic data to accelerate antibiotic discovery against antimicrobial resistance.”
The visit featured tours of UdeM’s high-throughput imaging and DDU research platforms and helped identify opportunities for future collaboration between the teams.
