Tim Jenkins - AI Bites Back! (FODD #5)

In this episode, our guest Assistant Prof. Tim Jenkins talks about snakebites and how to use AI to design broadly neutralising antibodies against venoms. Tim takes us through his experience at Milner Therapeutics Institute and shares his passion and vision for connecting academia and startups/industry players. In the second half of this talk, Tim explains the complexity in the venom domain and the challenges that lie ahead for the commercialisation of antivenom antibodies. 

PS: Recently, with InstaDeep, Tim has posed a snake antivenom challenge as part of the largest hackathon in Africa.
