As healthcare systems continue to grapple with identifying and managing long COVID, artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise as an important tool that could one day expand scientists’ understanding and even lead to new diagnostics for the condition. Three recent studies demonstrated how machine learning and AI algorithms can be leveraged to process vast amounts of complex clinical notes, hospital data, and patient data.

Wenchi, whose storied career includes working at the State Department under Hillary Clinton, discusses how her identity is the throughline of her career in labour rights, civil rights, diplomacy, media and non-profit leadership from being Hakka in Taiwan, to the US, to Mainland China and back to the US again.
Read MoreThe breakthrough discovery of a powerful new gene editing tool called bridge RNAs has the potential to significantly advance gene therapy and usher in a new frontier in genome design, researchers say. Discovered by a team of scientists at the Arc Institute and led by Patrick Hsu, PhD, a University of California, Berkeley, assistant professor of bioengineering, bridge RNAs provide precise control over large-scale DNA rearrangements and make the editing process possible in a single step.
