AlphaFold is accelerating the fight against the deadly melioidosis, bringing Dr. Su Datt and his team closer to discovering new treatments against Burkholderia Pseudomallei (BP). In this video, we explore how researchers in Malaysia are using Google DeepMind's revolutionary AI, AlphaFold, to understand the complex proteins of this dangerous bacteria. Melioidosis (also known as Whitmore's disease) is a serious infectious disease found in soil and water, and finding new treatments is a critical global health challenge.

RUBIC is a research unit focusing on Bioinformatics and Computational biology techniques and integration of both experimental and theoretical studies, we also conduct and organize training, seminar, and meeting to share and disseminate knowledge transfer to the wider research community inside and outside IIUM. This will also become a platform to foster interactions and inter-department, inter-kulliyyah within IIUM as well as external research collaborations. This research group aims to emerge as a center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology that involves scientific research breakthroughs in line with IIUM vision and mission according to the national key priority area.
