MIT alumnus’ platform taps the wisdom of crowds to label medical data for AI companies. Centaur Labs created an app that experts use to classify medical data in exchange for small cash prizes. Those opinions are used to train and improve life-saving AI models. When Erik Duhaime PhD ’19 was wor
Centaur Labs, founded by MIT alumnus Erik Duhaime, is gamifying medical data labeling with an app called DiagnosUs, which challenges medical professionals to label data for small cash prizes, to advance AI.
A team of researchers led by Feng Zhang at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT has uncovered the first programmable RNA-guided system in eukaryotes — organisms that include fungi, plants, and animals. In a study in Nature, the team describes how the system is based on a protein called Fanzor. They showed that Fanzor proteins use RNA as a guide to target DNA precisely, and that Fanzors can be reprogrammed to edit the genome of human cells. The compact Fanzor systems have the potential to be more easily delivered to cells and tissues as t...
