Auditory stimuli delivered in phase with peaks of #EEG slow waves in the brain increased cerebrospinal fluid (#CSF) flow in healthy adults napping inside an MRI machine, offering insight to treating dysfunctional CSF flow. @MIT_IMES @BostonU_BME scim.ag/4r1JFfe

Welcome first-year students and welcome back to all returning students! #ThisisMIT

Looking forward, we are excited to create quantitative fate maps of tumor evolution, and learn how other aspects of tumor progression - such as genomic instability - unfold over space and time. If you find these directions exciting too, we're recruiting postdocs so get in touch!

This was a years-long endeavor co-led by my stellar colleague @sundakao that started during the pandemic. It was an incredibly fun project across multiple labs including @dianyang1117 @insitubiology @JswLab and @YosefLab. I am deeply grateful to these collaborators and mentors

This platform integrates our Cas9 lineage tracing technology with new spatial genomics platforms pioneered by Fei Chen's group (@insitubiology). These platforms perform unbiased capture of poly-A transcripts, enabling simultaneous spatial mapping of lineage and gene expression.

It's been known for decades that a tumor's spatial structure carries immense prognostic value. Yet, the spatial evolution of tumors has been difficult to track over time. Here, we introduce a new platform for performing spatial lineage tracing in tumors: bit.ly/4zUEsdk

I am very excited to share that our latest work on spatial lineage-tracing in the KP lung adenocarcinoma model has been published in @NatureGenet today! This is the latest work from my lab at @MITBiology @kochinstitute @MIT_IMES. Thread below👇

When it comes to AI-assisted medical diagnosis, one size may not fit all.
A new study from @MarzyehGhassemi and team found that AI explanations affect clinicians and non-experts differently—highlighting the need to design AI support around user expertise.

In a new Science Translational Medicine study by a team including MIT-Novo Nordisk Postdoc Seyed Majed Modaresi and Prof. James Collins from @MITdeptofBE, researchers used deep learning to identify promising new compounds against drug-resistant gonorrhea.

New paper from my group at @kochinstitute @MIT_IMES @MITBiology! I am thrilled to share that our paper describing scAmp, a new method for analyzing extrachromosomal DNA amplifications at single-cell resolution, has been published in @NatureComms. Thread below 👇

Excited to share our new @JACCJournals paper: OCT + DL can improve prediction of response to IVL & support patient-specific intervention planning.
Congrats to Yiqing Liu & Elazer Edelman (@MIT_IMES), and thanks to @NIH & @ShockwaveIVL.

The visionary PhysioNet platform turns 25+--a system developed @MIT + @mit_hst in the 1970s. It has become one of the most comprehensive biomedical and clinical data repositories in existence! @MITEngineering Learn more bit.ly/4fOeVJL
ALT Roger Mark (left) and George Moody are two of the original founding members behind PhysioNet, which was based on the MIT–BIH Arrhythmia Database developed in the late 1970s. Last year, more than 15,000 scientific publications cited PhysioNet, and users from more than 180 countries have registered on the platform.
We're proud of Emery N. Brown, who recently received @MIT 's highest faculty honor: Institute Professor! He is now one of 12, inc. @MIT_IMES founding dir. Arup Chakraborty. Congrats to the brilliant physician + neuroscientist! @mit_hst bit.ly/3RS1hx5

1. Can hydrogels breathe?
In our new Nature paper, we show that only 2-4 wt% aerogels can enhance hydrogel air permeability by more than 10× through viscoelastic phase separation—while preserving water-rich, tissue-like properties.
