MAPPING BRAIN CANCER: Pallavi Tiwari is developing imaging technology to customize the diagnosis and treatments of tumors

A patient diagnosed with the aggressive brain tumor glioblastoma typically has only 15 months to live. The grim prognosis can lead to multiple surgeries to remove and then test suspected tumors. But what if clinicians could determine whether a suspicious tumor is benign or malignant without putting patients under the knife?

Bioethics in the Age of COVID-19: Laundering bias and saving lives through AI

Over the past year and a half, our hospitals, overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients desperate for oxygen, have been debilitated by staff and resource shortages. While many called for vaccines as a hopeful cure-all, some recognized a faster alternative: efficient and deliberate distribution of hospital resources.
