Antarctic Worm and Machine Learning Help Identify Cerebral Palsy Earlier
NewsA research team has released a study in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Bioinformatics showing that DNA methylation patterns in circulating blood cells can be used to help identify spastic cerebral palsy (CP) patients. The technique which makes use of machine learning, data science and even analysis of Antarctic worms, raises hopes for earlier targeted CP therapies.

AI Speeds Nanoparticle Development
News Jun 11, 2018A new technique developed by MIT physicists could someday provide a way to custom-design multilayered nanoparticles with desired properties, potentially for use in displays, cloaking systems, or biomedical devices. It may also help physicists tackle a variety of thorny research problems, in ways that could in some cases be orders of magnitude faster than existing methods.
Beyond Correlation and Superstition: AI Powers New Model of Causality
News Jun 11, 2018Real-world problems in economics and public health can be notoriously hard nuts to find causes for. Often, multiple causes are suspected but large datasets with time-sequenced data are not available. Previous models could not reliably analyse these challenges. Now researchers have tested the first Artificial Intelligence model that can tackle these problems.
