Italian Scientists on a Research Visit to IVI

During their research visit to Novi Sad, Italian researchers from the National Research Council (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche) collaborated closely with the team at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Serbia as part of the DeepMicroCore project. The aim of this collaboration is to harness advanced artificial intelligence techniques to uncover the core of the microbiome and enhance the understanding of its impact on various aspects of health, agriculture, and the environment.

By applying sophisticated deep learning models, the researchers are working on predicting the origins of the microbiome based on species, time, and location. This project encompasses a broad range of samples, including human gut bacteria, sheep milk, and aged cheeses, to explore the diversity of microbiomes and their functionality.

Microbiomes play a crucial role in various ecosystems and can significantly influence human health, agricultural productivity, and environmental sustainability. The identification of key microorganisms using advanced AI models provides new insights and opens up applications in biotechnology and medicine.

This collaboration marks a significant advancement in the use of artificial intelligence for microbiome research and paves the way for future studies and applications. The Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Serbia is proud to contribute to these efforts, which have the potential to transform the approach to microbiological research.
