How a researcher uses Codex and ChatGPT to search for new antimicrobial molecules

AnnouncementProductSep 8, 2026

OpenAI profiled how bioengineer César de la Fuente's lab uses Codex and ChatGPT to search for antimicrobial molecules. The lab trains deep-learning models to find patterns in genome and protein datasets from living and extinct organisms, reducing initial candidate searches from years to hours. Lab members use Codex and ChatGPT to write code, process datasets, review unfamiliar topics, and brainstorm hypotheses, bridging gaps between biology, chemistry, and computer science expertise.
