By Maureen L. Stanton Boston University Chemistry doctoral students Anand Sahu and Pridhi Balhara were part of the research team awarded the 2026 Merck Innovation Cup for AI Agents, an international competition exploring the use of AI agents to address scientific research and development challenges. Sahu, a doctoral student in BU’s College of Arts & […]
Boston University Research Shows Biology-Informed AI Can Outperform Larger Models By Maureen L. Stanton Designing an effective antibody drug is like searching for the right key in a warehouse of locks. Scientists may begin with million— or even billions—of antibody candidates, but only a tiny fraction will recognize and bind tightly to the disease target. […]
Chuanfei Dong and Brian Kulis to develop AI tools that accelerate plasma physics research By Maureen L. Stanton Boston University is a collaborating institution on a new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Genesis Mission award led by Princeton University and announced by the DOE this July. The Genesis Mission supports the development and demonstration of […]
Boston University College of Engineering has appointed Keith Brown, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Physics, as Head of the Division of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE), effective July 1, 2026.

By Brendan Galvin For people recovering from a stroke, relearning how to communicate can be one of the biggest rehabilitation challenges. For bilingual patients, the challenge is even greater. Which language should their speech therapy focus on? A recent study published in npj Digital Medicine explores how artificial intelligence-powered "digital twins" can help answer that […]
By Maureen L. Stanton While the health sector is generating unprecedented volumes of digital data, fragmented systems, regulatory complexity, and technical barriers often make it difficult for researchers to efficiently discover, access, and connect data across disciplines. To help researchers navigate those obstacles, Boston University's Center for Health Data Science (CHDS) today launched DataHub, a […]
