RT @MITstudents: Welcome first-year students and welcome back to all returning students! #ThisisMIT

RT @MattG_Jones: 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!

RT @MattG_Jones: 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

RT @MattG_Jones: 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.

RT @MattG_Jones: 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:

RT @MattG_Jones: 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👇

RT @MITEngineering: Lydia Bourouiba, a professor in @MIT_CEE, @MITMechE, and @MIT_IMES, received the 2026 MathWorks Faculty Research Innovation Fellowship (FRIF). 📸: Conor McArdle

RT @MITLIDS: 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.

RT @MITEngineering: 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.

RT @MattG_Jones: 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 👇

RT @FarhadRNezami: 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. @BrighamCardiac @MassGenBrigham @harvardmed

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

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

RT @ProfZhaoMIT: 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.

RT @ProfZhaoMIT: 4. Congratulations to @XiaoYunYan, @shucong_li_hhh, and all coauthors and collaborators for this exciting work. @MIT @MITMechE @MIT_IMES @MIT_CEE @MITEngineering @mit_nano
