Using a deep-learning model, MIT researchers, including faculty members at IMES, have identified a powerful new drug that can kill many species of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Using a machine-learning algorithm, MIT researchers have identified a powerful new antibiotic compound. In laboratory tests, the drug killed many of the world’s most problematic…

Engineers, including an IMES faculty member and a student in the GEMS program at IMES, design a device made of heart tissue and a robotic pumping system that beats like the real thing. As the geriatric population is expected to balloon in the coming decade, so too will rates of…

A new method by computer scientists, including an IMES  faculty member,  could help doctors avoid ineffective or unnecessarily risky treatments. After a patient has a heart attack or stroke, doctors often use risk models to help guide their treatment. These models can calculate a patient’s risk of dying based on…

Models that map these relationships based on patient data require fine-tuning for certain conditions, according to a study by MIT researchers, including a faculty member from IMES. A new MIT study finds “health knowledge graphs,” which show relationships between symptoms and diseases and are intended to help with clinical diagnosis,…

MIT engineers, including an IMES researcher, develop a technique that may help remotely image and assess health of infants, burn victims, and accident survivors in hard-to-reach places. For most people, getting an ultrasound is a relatively easy procedure: As a technician gently presses a probe against a patient’s skin, sound…
