Assistant Professor Matthew Jones is working to decode molecular processes on the genetic, epigenetic, and microenvironment levels to anticipate how and when tumors evolve to resist treatment.
Professor Caroline Uhler discusses her work at the Schmidt Center, thorny problems in math, and the ongoing quest to understand some of the most complex interactions in biology.
Researchers redesign a compact RNA-guided enzyme from bacteria, making it an efficient editor of human DNA.
Trained with a joint understanding of protein and cell behavior, the model could help with diagnosing disease and developing new drugs.
Stuart Levine ’97, director of MIT’s BioMicro Center, keeps departmental researchers at the forefront of systems biology.
The programmable proteins are compact, modular, and can be directed to modify DNA in human cells.
FragFold, developed by MIT Biology researchers, is a computational method with potential for impact on biological research and therapeutic applications.
A new approach, which takes minutes rather than days, predicts how a specific DNA sequence will arrange itself in the cell nucleus.
The innovations map the ocean floor and the brain, prevent heat stroke and cognitive injury, expand AI processing and quantum system capabilities, and introduce new fabrication approaches.
MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.
