The latest discoveries, breakthroughs, and community news.
By Maureen L. Stanton Designing an effective antibody drug is like searching for the right key in a warehouse of locks. Scientists may begin with million— or even billions—of antibody candidates, but only a tiny fraction will recognize and bind tightly to the disease target. Identifying those rare candidates has long been one of the […]
Adapted from a story by Andrew Thurston for The Brink Boston University has been awarded nearly $20 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to help establish the National Cloud Lab Network, a nationwide system of AI-enabled, programmable laboratories that will transform how science and engineering research is conducted. Through the NSF Test Bed: […]
Chuanfei Dong and Brian Kulis to develop AI tools that accelerate plasma physics research By Maureen L. Stanton Boston University is a collaborating institution on a new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Genesis Mission award led by Princeton University and announced by the DOE this July. The Genesis Mission supports the development and demonstration of […]
By Brendan Galvin For people recovering from a stroke, relearning how to communicate can be one of the biggest rehabilitation challenges. For bilingual patients, the challenge is even greater. Which language should their speech therapy focus on? A recent study published in npj Digital Medicine explores how artificial intelligence-powered "digital twins" can help answer that […]
Using machine-learning models and blockchain data, BU researcher Gerry Tsoukalas and collaborators identified suspicious patterns across major exchanges. By Brendan Galvin Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, became a symbol of the digital asset boom, with buyers spending huge sums on blockchain-based art, collectibles, and virtual items. Yet new research suggests that much of that activity may […]
By Maureen L. Stanton While the health sector is generating unprecedented volumes of digital data, fragmented systems, regulatory complexity, and technical barriers often make it difficult for researchers to efficiently discover, access, and connect data across disciplines. To help researchers navigate those obstacles, Boston University's Center for Health Data Science (CHDS) today launched DataHub, a […]
The Hariri Institute for Computing brings together faculty and students from across the university by organizing engaging, collaborative events that feature high profile speakers to share their perspectives and expertise on cutting edge ideas in computing and computationally supported research. Join us to meet other members of the BU community, make potential research connections, and gain insight on a variety of topics.
