2023-24 Takeda Fellows: Advancing research at the intersection of AI and health
Thirteen new graduate student fellows will pursue exciting new paths of knowledge and discovery.
Biological engineering
A more effective experimental design for engineering a cell into a new state
By focusing on causal relationships in genome regulation, a new AI method could help scientists identify new immunotherapy techniques or regenerative therapies.
MIT scientists build a system that can generate AI models for biology research
Is it possible to build machine-learning models without machine-learning expertise? Jim Collins, the Termeer Professor of Medical Engineering and Science in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT and the…
Novo Nordisk to support MIT postdocs working at the intersection of AI and life sciences
MIT-Novo Nordisk Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellows Program will support up to 10 postdocs annually over five years.
New model offers a way to speed up drug discovery
By applying a language model to protein-drug interactions, researchers can quickly screen large libraries of potential drug compounds.
Using AI, scientists find a drug that could combat drug-resistant infections
The machine-learning algorithm identified a compound that kills Acinetobacter baumannii, a bacterium that lurks in many hospital settings.
