The project has received US$2.3 million through the Google.org Impact Challenge: AI for Science. The team plans to generate experimental peptide-binding data and use it to train an AI model. The goal is not to replace laboratory experiments, but to help researchers choose more promising peptides to test. OpenPep is a research infrastructure project, not evidence for a new treatment.
