Habang patuloy ang paghina o pagkawalang bisa ng mga tradisyunal na antibiotic sanhi ng antimicrobial resistance (AMR), ay lalong nagiging mahalaga ang paghahanap ng mga bagong gamot. Isa sa mga pinakapromising na solusyon ay ang antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), na isang klase ng mga compound na kayang pumatay ng bacteria. Upang mapabilis ang proseso ng pagtuklas ng AMPs, bumuo sila Remmer Salas, Dr. Portia Mahal Sabido, at Dr. Ricky Nellas ng University of the Philippines Diliman – College of Science (UPD-CS) ng isang AI tool.

As antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to make traditional antibiotics less effective worldwide, the search for new antibacterial treatments has become increasingly urgent. One promising solution is antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), small molecules that can kill bacteria. To help accelerate their discovery, researchers at the University of the Philippines Diliman – College of Science (UPD-CS) have developed an AI tool designed to accelerate the discovery of new antibacterial peptides.

BATCH 2 Applications to College of Science Graduate Programs for the 1st Semester of AY 2026-2027 are now open. Deadline for applications is on July 08, 2026.

Ang riparian vegetation, o mga halamang tumutubo sa pampang ng ilog, ay mahalaga sa kalusugan ng mga ecosystem ng ilog, ngunit napakasensitibo sa mga pagbabago sa daloy ng ilog, sediment at mga kaguluhan sa lupa (land disturbance).

Riparian vegetation, or the plants that grow along riverbanks, is crucial for healthy river ecosystems but is sensitive to changes in river flow, sediment, and land disturbance. In tropical rivers such as those in the Philippines, sediment often builds up and landscapes are frequently altered, highlighting the need for site-specific baseline studies. This motivated Dr. Enrico Replan of the University of the Philippines – Diliman College of Science’s Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology (UPD-CS IESM) to examine the plants growing along the banks of the Amnay River in Occidental Mindoro and how their distribution relates to the river environment.
