BOSS Lab, led by @Debajit31438045, published their first paper! The paper shows for the first time that insect brain signals can be leveraged to detect human cancer by only using the 'smell' of cancer. Congrats to the team for a job well done! Read here: bit.ly/3SVmlx8

Impressive work from the @Debajit31438045 lab!
Cyborg locust brains can help spot the telltale signs of human cancer in the lab, a new study has shown. The team behind the work hopes it could one day lead to an insect-based breath test that could be used in cancer screening. trib.al/9JDOiun
