With @jrpenades.bsky.social, we challenged Google AI co-scientist to generate hypotheses. In just 2 days, it recapitulated our unpublished, experimentally confirmed mechanism for how cf-PICIs spread between bacterial species! @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3byyaeh2

An unreleased AI system by Google designed to assist researchers has the potential to "supercharge science." Dr Tiago Dias da Costa and other Imperial researchers were the first to test it, and say it replicated ten years of work in just two days. www.imperial.ac.uk/news/261293/...

New work from the lab with @jrpenades.bsky.social! We discovered a biological entity that spreads among different bacterial species by hijacking tails from various phages. This finding has major translational applications due to its broad host range. More news soon! shorturl.at/kRJqE

Great to see this paper published on Cpx signalling, LPS remodelling and colistin resistance. It is always a pleasure to work with my collaborators and friends @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @tcostalab.bsky.social @lukeallsopp.bsky.social and Gerald Larrouy Maumus.
