Meet the 2022-23 Accenture Fellows December 20, 2022 This year's fellows, including an HST student, will work across research areas including telemonitoring, human-computer interactions, operations research, AI-mediated socialization, and chemical transformations. HST Fall Dinner honors Emery N. Brown November 29, 2022 Returning for the first time in three years, HST Fall Dinner attendees honored Emery Brown’s almost 10 as co-director of HST, while also reveling in being able to again celebrate in person. Are Covid-19 “comas” signs of a protective hibernation state? November 18, 2022 Scientists hypothesize that, as in a hibernating turtle, the brain under sedation and deprived of oxygen may assume a protective state. Keeping indoor humidity levels at a “sweet spot” may reduce spread of Covid-19 November 16, 2022 A new study links very dry and very humid indoor environments with worse Covid-19 outcomes. New research takes a fresh look at the potential for cancer immunotherapy November 12, 2022 Researchers, including an IMES faculty member, argue that there is limited evidence of tumor mutational burden as a biomarker of response to immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is an effective cancer treatment, but only for less than half of all patients. This has led researchers to focus on ways to anticipate which patients… Professor Emeritus Louis Braida, speech and hearing scientist and hearing aid innovator, dies at 79 November 4, 2022 Valued mentor was known for research in intensity perception, hearing-impairment characterization, and aids for the deaf. Nanosensors target enzymes to monitor and study cancer November 2, 2022 By analyzing enzyme activity at the organism, tissue, and cellular scales, new sensors could provide new tools to clinicians and cancer researchers. Seven with MIT ties receive awards from the American Physical Society October 26, 2022 Professors Arup Chakraborty, Lina Necib, and Ronald Fernando Garcia Ruiz as well as Yuan Cao SM ’16, PhD ’20; Alina Kononov ’14; Elliott H. Lieb ’53; Haocun Yu PhD ’20; and others honored for contributions to physics. MIT student club Engineers Without Borders works with local village in Tanzania October 17, 2022 Skills learned in the classroom are applied toward health and sanitation projects. Celebrating 20 years of discovery, Picower Institute looks ahead to continuing impact October 12, 2022 At an exhibition marking two decades since a transformative gift from the Picower Foundation, current and alumni members described research at the forefront of neuroscience and beyond.
