With generative AI, MIT chemists quickly calculate 3D genomic structures
A new approach, which takes minutes rather than days, predicts how a specific DNA sequence will arrange itself in the cell nucleus.
A new computational model can predict antibody structures more accurately
Using this model, researchers may be able to identify antibody drugs that can target a variety of infectious diseases.
AI model can reveal the structures of crystalline materials
By analyzing X-ray crystallography data, the model could help researchers develop new materials for many applications, including batteries and magnets.
A new computational technique could make it easier to engineer useful proteins
MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.
New model identifies drugs that shouldn’t be taken together
Using a machine-learning algorithm, researchers can predict interactions that could interfere with a drug’s effectiveness.
Doctors have more difficulty diagnosing disease when looking at images of darker skin
Dermatologists and general practitioners are somewhat less accurate in diagnosing disease in darker skin, a new study finds. Used correctly, AI may be able to help.
Complex, unfamiliar sentences make the brain’s language network work harder
A new study finds that language regions in the left hemisphere light up when reading uncommon sentences, while straightforward sentences elicit little response.
Using AI, MIT researchers identify a new class of antibiotic candidates
These compounds can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a bacterium that causes deadly infections.
Computational model captures the elusive transition states of chemical reactions
Using generative AI, MIT chemists created a model that can predict the structures formed when a chemical reaction reaches its point of no return.
Deep neural networks show promise as models of human hearing
Study shows computational models trained to perform auditory tasks display an internal organization similar to that of the human auditory cortex.
