Professor Stefano Lonardi, in collaboration with the Keck Graduate Institute, and Pomona College will use a family of deep learning neural architectures called generative adversarial networks to predict the structure of antibodies that could neutralize a previously unknown antigen or a new virus that might emerge in the future.

The project has received $3.2 million in funding over five years from the National Institutes of Health's Director?s Transformative Research program.
