A team led by @MITChemE and @MIT_IMES Professor Daniel Anderson developed an implantable device that could offer long-term control of type 1 diabetes without the need for injections. news.mit.edu/2026/implantabl…

Implantable islet cells could control diabetes without insulin injections

As an alternative to insulin injections, MIT researchers are developing an implantable device that encapsulates islet cells, protecting them from immune rejection. The device also carries an oxygen...

A team led by Leo Anthony Celi, a senior research scientist at @MIT_IMES, created a framework that they say can guide AI developers in designing systems that display curiosity and humility. news.mit.edu/2026/creating-h…

How to create “humble” AI

An MIT-led team developed a framework for creating “humble” AI systems that reveal when they are not confident in their medical diagnoses or recommendations, and encourage users to gather additional...

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

A team, including researchers in @MITEECS and @MIT_IMES, developed a deep learning model that can predict which patients with heart failure are at risk of having their condition worsen up to a year in advance. news.mit.edu/2026/can-ai-hel…

Can AI help predict which heart-failure patients will worsen within a year?

A new deep learning model can predict a patient's heart failure trajectory up to a year in advance. The work was developed by researchers at MIT, Mass General Brigham, and Harvard Medical School.

✨🫀Thanks to genAI, we can create realistic, digital organs for virtual clinical trials. But looking realistic is easy — behaving realistically remains a challenge. A new paper accepted to @iclr_conf from @aihealthmit researchers proposes a solution: openreview.net/pdf?id=JyboUM…

After researchers in @MITDeptofBE and @MIT_IMES tasked an AI system with designing new molecules for potential antibiotics from scratch, the algorithms generated more than 29 million new molecules, unlike any that existed before — within a couple of days. fastcompany.com/91451161/mit…

Over 10,000 Americans are waiting for a liver transplant. MIT Engineers developed injectable “mini livers” that could take over the functions of a failing liver. The technology could offer an alternative to transplantation or provide support until a donor organ is available. news.mit.edu/2026/injectable…
