Science is Curiosity on a Mission: It includes all of us who ask "why" and make it our mission to find out. These are the discoveries that move the country forward. The pursuit of ideas that seemed impossible until they weren’t. #CuriosityOnAMission

🎉 🎊 Congratulations to our superstar @anurag_vaidya7 on successfully defending his PhD at @mit_hst! 🎓 During his PhD Anurag led an extraordinary body of work spanning multimodal outcome prediction (SurvPath, CVPR 2024), a landmark audit of demographic bias in computational pathology (Nature Medicine, 2024), and multiple foundation models that have pushed the field forward: MADELEINE (ECCV 2025), THREADS (Nature Cancer, 2026, to appear), and KRONOS. A unifying idea behind much of this work: biology is a powerful learning signal. It has been a privilege to advise @anurag_vaidya7 and to watch him grow into an independent scientist. Proud of all he has accomplished, and excited for what comes next.
