Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center fellows and co-lead paper authors Jiaqi Zhang (MIT EECS PhD student) and Ryan Welch (MIT master’s student in engineering), joined by senior author and Schmidt Center Director Caroline Uhler, have developed theoretical foundations for methods that could identify the best way to aggregate genes into related groups, so they can efficiently learn the underlying cause-and-effect relationships between many genes. This cost-effective and more feasible technique could help scientists identify potential gene targets to induce certain behavior in a more accurate and efficient manner, potentially enabling them to develop precise treatments for patients.

Research from Assistant Professor Emma Pierson finds that taking race into account when developing tools to predict a patient’s risk of colorectal cancer leads to more accurate predictions when compared with race-blind algorithms. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3zZfhMz "We need to design algorithms that make the best predictions we can for the patients we see today," said Pierson. "That is our responsibility as designers. But on a longer time frame, it’s also really important that, yes, we improve the quality of medical data. This is not an acceptable state of affairs – we need to fight a two front battle." #HealthTech #Cancer #AI #Research #CornellTech
