AI Breakthrough in Snakebite Treatment

In a 2024 study, researchers harnessed AI to design proteins that neutralize cobra venom, successfully saving mice from lethal doses. This marks a potential revolution in snakebite therapy, replacing costly, animal-derived antivenoms prone to adverse reactions. The AI-crafted proteins aim to create a universal antivenom, effective against hundreds of venomous snakes. With enhanced manufacturing and safety, this innovation could democratize treatments for neglected tropical diseases—proof that even snakes face a high-tech showdown.
