AI can speed antibody design to thwart novel viruses

Artificial intelligence (AI) and “protein language” models can speed the design of monoclonal antibodies that prevent or reduce the severity of potentially life-threatening viral infections, according to a multi-institutional study led by researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

AI tool uncovers genetic blueprint of the brain’s largest communication bridge

For the first time, a research team led by the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC has mapped the genetic architecture of a crucial part of the human brain known as the corpus callosum—the thick band of nerve fibers that connects the brain’s left and right hemispheres. The findings open new pathways for discoveries about mental illness, neurological disorders and other diseases related to defects in this part of the brain.

AI helps scientists correct mistakes in medical studies

Randomized, controlled clinical trials are crucial for telling whether a new treatment is safe and effective. But often scientists don’t fully report the details of their trials in a way that allows other researchers to gauge how well they designed and conducted those studies.

An LLM that can process and display transmitted cardiac data in real time

In addition to linguistic prompts, large language models can also understand, interpret, and adapt their responses to heart frequency data. Dr. Morris Gellisch, previously of Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and now at University of Zurich, Switzerland, and Boris Burr from Ruhr University Bochum have developed a technical interface through which the physiological data can be transmitted to the language model in real time.
