Harvard researchers augment LLM to create expert diagnostic system

Except for one key aspect, the setup is a familiar one in medicine: An expert diagnostician presents a particularly challenging case to a roomful of colleagues, carefully walking them through the patient's symptoms and initial test results.

Scalable synthetic biology revolutionizes targeted therapy with logic-gate proteins

Targeted drug delivery is a powerful and promising area of medicine. Therapies that pinpoint the exact areas of the body where they're needed - and nowhere they're not - can reduce the medicine dosage and avoid potentially harmful "off target" effects elsewhere in the body.

First global standard published to measure outcomes in dengue treatment trials

The first global standard which harmonizes what outcomes to measure in dengue treatment trials has been published this week in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. Co-led by researchers at King's and the University of Oxford, this solves a longstanding discrepancy in terms of what is measured in these trials.
