Spotlight: Biodesign Institute hits 20
Celebrating 20 years of discovery at Biodesign
The ASU Biodesign Institute is making significant impacts in modern evolutionary studies and human health, examining how new understandings of our biological diversity can enhance our approaches to medicine. Among the pioneering research are studies into biomarkers for early diagnosis and personalized medicine as well as studies on how artificial intelligence can transform health care.
Training for the future of AI-powered medicine
An ASU team received a $2.35 million award from the National Institutes of Health to create a doctoral program training students to use AI in medical settings. AI tools that enable early screening could especially benefit patients with neurodegenerative diseases. The program will combine classwork and hands-on learning before having students develop new AI tools to help clinicians.
Cancer clinics learn from farmers fighting pests
Just as crop-devouring insects evolve to resist pesticides, cancer cells can increase their lethality by developing resistance to treatment. In fact, most deaths from cancer are caused by the evolution of therapeutic resistance. ASU researchers explore how agricultural pest-management strategies could be adapted to cancer therapy. Their method could help control drug resistance and improve patient survival.
