  • Data is Both the Fuel and Downfall of AI in Drug Development

    Diagnostics World News | At Scope X, Novo Nordisk gave a presentation on how high-impact opportunities for leveraging AI across the pharmaceutical R&D cycle are too numerous to count but won’t “automagically” solve any of the longstanding problems in ushering molecules to market. AI requires human attention to match tools to tasks for ensuring the accuracy of model predictions, and the pitfalls are dangerously easy to miss,

  • Beyond the Snapshot: A Duke Researcher Is Using Blood Flow Simulations to Transform Heart Disease Diagnosis

    Diagnostics World News | For patients seeing a cardiologist, their diagnosis and next steps rest on data gathered at a single point in time: the day of their appointment. One blood pressure reading. One imaging scan. One day’s data to define the health of a continuously changing system. The Duke Center for Computational and Digital Health Innovation developed a platform that may be a better way.

  • Microchimerism: Lifelong Biological Connections Impacting Everyone

    Diagnostics World News | During pregnancy, the cells of a fetus make their way into the tissues of mom where they can persist for decades, much like what happens when someone gets an organ transplant but to a far tinier extent. That the maternal-fetal exchange results in chimerism—more specifically, “microchimerism”—is a relatively little-known yet fascinating and profoundly common biological phenomenon.
