TODAY: seminar at 3:30 pm in E25-117 by Dr. William Jacobs on "Immune-mediated Killing and Sterilization of Mycobacteria Tuberculosis" Learn more about research on global health crisis of tuberculosis! @EinsteinMed @MIT_IMES @mit_hst @MITMechE @MITEngineering @FluidsAndHealth

A team led by Leo Anthony Celi, a senior research scientist at @MIT_IMES, created a framework that they say can guide AI developers in designing systems that display curiosity and humility. news.mit.edu/2026/creating-…

Science is Curiosity on a Mission: It includes all of us who ask "why" and make it our mission to find out. These are the discoveries that move the country forward. The pursuit of ideas that seemed impossible until they weren’t. #CuriosityOnAMission

We're thrilled that @geoffreyhinton will be delivering the @MIT_IMES Judith Richter Lecture! The "godfather of AI" will give a "brief and biased history of AI, in a talk called: "Are We Creating Alien Beings?" May 26, 3:30 pm, Building 32-123 @MITMechE @MITEngineering @MIT

Congrats to @AIHealthMIT PI Elazer @EdelmanLab for receiving the 2026-2027 Killian Award, @MIT's highest faculty honor! "He is a clinician of the highest order...a teacher of greatest passion...and an engineer whose work has reached around the globe." news.mit.edu/2026/elazer-ed…

🎉 🎊 Congratulations to our superstar @anurag_vaidya7 on successfully defending his PhD at @mit_hst! 🎓 During his PhD Anurag led an extraordinary body of work spanning multimodal outcome prediction (SurvPath, CVPR 2024), a landmark audit of demographic bias in computational pathology (Nature Medicine, 2024), and multiple foundation models that have pushed the field forward: MADELEINE (ECCV 2025), THREADS (Nature Cancer, 2026, to appear), and KRONOS. A unifying idea behind much of this work: biology is a powerful learning signal. It has been a privilege to advise @anurag_vaidya7 and to watch him grow into an independent scientist. Proud of all he has accomplished, and excited for what comes next.

It's PhD defense season and we have another newly minted Doctor to celebrate! Congrats to Rajib Mondal of @AnikeevaLab for successfully defending his research on the gut-brain connection! @mit_hst @mitbrainandcog @YangTanColl
