Northwestern Engineering researchers have now developed a quick, cell-free system to build and study biosynthetic pathways. Called GlycoPRIME, the system could lead to faster development of therapeutics and a new, modular way to make medicines on demand in resource-limited settings.

Far more microbes are one step away from becoming dangerous than previously thought, say the team managing the world’s only specialist database on the disease-causing genes of microorganisms.

It is the the dream of every molecular geneticist: an easy-to-use program that compares data sets from different cellular conditions, identifies enhancer regions and then assigns them to their target genes. A research team led by Martin Vingron at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin has now developed a program that masters all of this.

A new method of studying large numbers of particles at quantum level has been developed, which allows for the study of the dynamics of the interactions between electron and ion.

Ongoing research now suggests that artificial intelligence can successfully predict which lung cancer patients will benefit from immunotherapy.

Stanford and UMass Amherst develop a new way to help machine-learning designers build AI with safeguards against specific, undesirable outcomes such as racial and gender bias

Engineers at Duke University have developed a microscope that adapts its lighting angles, colors and patterns while teaching itself the optimal settings needed to complete a given diagnostic task.

MIT researchers have developed a bot equipped with artificial intelligence that can beat human players in tricky online multiplayer games where player roles and motives are kept secret.

Hiring decisions are rife with human bias, leading some organizations to hand off at least part of their employee searches to algorithms that screen applicants. But new research raises questions about those algorithms and the tech companies who develop them.

Researchers used a machine-learning approach to discover new ways of controlling the spatial organization of induced pluripotent stem cells.
