Deep-learning technique predicts clinical treatment outcomes
A new methodology simulates counterfactual, time-varying, and dynamic treatment strategies, allowing doctors to choose the best course of action. When it comes to treatment strategies for critically ill patients, clinicians want to be able to consider all their options and timing of administration, and make the optimal decision for their…
Read MoreHow Omicron escapes from antibodies
A computational study by MIT researchers, including an HST student, shows that dozens of mutations help the virus’ spike protein evade antibodies that target SARS-CoV-2. A new study from MIT suggests that the dozens of mutations in the spike protein of the Omicron variant help it to evade all four…

Read MoreNew surgery may enable better control of prosthetic limbs
Reconnecting muscle pairs during amputation gives patients more sensory feedback from the limb, according to MIT researchers, including an HST alum and a current HST student. MIT researchers have invented a new type of amputation surgery that can help amputees to better control their residual muscles and sense where their…
