Babson College rhetoric instructor Michael Gerhard Martin has authored Easiest If I Had A Gun, a heartbreaking and hilarious collection of short stories published by Braddock Avenue Books.
Project will focus on antibody repertoires and B cell diversity to better understand the role of the immune system in cardiovascular disease
Researchers at MIT's Koch Institute and Boston Children’s Hospital describe how a new light-triggered strategy can provide more accurate control over where aptamers accumulate.
Tufts Dental Facilities Serving Individuals with Disabilities, a network of clinics that provides oral health care to adults and children with intellectual, developmental, or acquired disabilities, will be presented with the Gies Award for Outstanding Achievement by an Academic Dental Institution at an event in March.
Scientists have believed that the lengthening of those repeats occur during DNA replication when cells divide or when the cellular DNA repair machinery gets activated. Recently, however, Tufts University researchers have traced expansive repeats to the process called transcription, which is copying the information from DNA into RNA.
Under a new five-year award of up to $50 million, the University of Minnesota and Tufts University will be part of an international partnership of universities to strengthen global workforce development against emerging pandemic threats. Called One Health Workforce (OHW), the work is part of a new United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Emerging Pandemic Threats 2 program, focusing on disease surveillance, training and outbreak response.
George Tsokos, MD, Chief of Rheumatology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and a national leader in the field of lupus research was honored by both the Lupus Foundation and the American College of Rheumatology with two awards presented at the 2014 ACR Annual Scientific Meeting.
Rohit Kulkarni, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Investigator in the Section on Islet Cell and Regenerative Biology at Joslin Diabetes Center and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, coauthored a paper that was published today in Diabetes, which voiced concerns about the increasing difficulty of access to high quality islet cells for diabetes research.
BOSTON – Charles Safran, MD, FACMI, Chief of the Division of Clinical Informatics at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), has received the American College of Medical Informatics’ 2014 Morris F. Collen Award in recognition of his commitment to and achievements in medical informatics.
Treatment with 3TSR antiangiogenic agent is shown to regress tumors and improve effectiveness of chemotherapy in an animal model of ovarian cancer.
Investigators at Massachusetts Eye and Ear reported the development and characterization of a comprehensive genetic test for inherited eye disorders in the online version of the Nature journal Genetics In Medicine today.
Tufts University School of Engineering researchers and collaborators from Texas A&M University have published the first research to use computational modeling to predict and identify the metabolic products of gastrointestinal (GI) tract microorganisms. Understanding these metabolic products, or metabolites, could influence how clinicians diagnose and treat GI diseases, as well as many other metabolic and neurological diseases increasingly associated with compromised GI function.
Immunologist Herman Eisen, founding member of the MIT Center for Cancer Research, died Nov. 2 at age 96. He is perhaps best known for his early work in describing affinity maturation.
Koch Institute faculty member Sangeeta Bhatia has been selected as one of Foreign Policy magazine’s 100 Leading Global Thinkers of 2014 for her work in developing inexpensive and noninvasive diagnostics for the early detection of colon cancer.
By exploiting a unique feature of the tumor microenvironment, scientists identify a novel delivery platform that leads to the inhibition of microRNA activity -- and the control of cancer growth
Boston researchers detail the types of otologic injury suffered by victims of the Boston Marathon bombing and report on the outcomes of patients undergoing otologic treatment in this paper in Otology & Neurology.
Patients choosing cataract surgery at Massachusetts Eye and Ear may now elect to have laser-assisted cataract surgery with the femtosecond LensSx® Laser. The hospital is one of the few in New England to offer the advanced technology, which enables surgeons to more precisely perform cataract surgery aided by a computer-controlled laser.
The entirely student-run Babson Entrepreneurship Forum will be held at the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business on Friday, November 14. Centered on the theme of “Owning the Future,” more than 25 prominent speakers will be featured in panels, keynotes, and breakouts throughout the day.
In a major advance in the care of patients with leukemia and other blood disorders, physicians at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center have begun using Rapid Heme Panel, a high-tech genetic test that provides, within a matter of days, an unprecedented amount of critical information to aid the choice of treatment.
New findings support the possibility that, in the future, small, non-toxic doses of carbon monoxide could be used therapeutically to provide the immune system with an infection-fighting advantage.
Bruce Furie, MD, Chief of the Division of Hemostasis and Thrombosis at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) has been named a 2014 Distinguished Scientist by the American Heart Association.
Induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) hold promise for therapeutic transplantation, but their potential in this capacity has been limited by failed efforts to maintain such cells in their multi-potent NSC state. Now, Whitehead Institute scientists have created iNSCs that remain in the multi-potent state—without ongoing expression of reprogramming factors. This allows the iNSCs to self-renew repeatedly to generate cells in quantities sufficient for therapy.
Mary R. Loeken, Ph.D., Investigator in the Section on Islet Cell and Regenerative Biology at Joslin Diabetes Center and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, has discovered a molecular pathway responsible for neural tube defects in diabetic pregnancies.
While osteoporosis prevention and treatment efforts have historically been focused on post-menopausal women, a new study from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) suggests that critical opportunities are being lost by not focusing more attention on bone loss and fracture risk in older men.
Nearly 100 entrepreneurs from the Boston area will introduce their ventures to a crowd of 500 fellow entrepreneurs, investors, partners, and members of the community at Babson’s signature Rocket Pitch event on Thursday, November 6th.
