Brain cancer is a devastating disease, and earlier detection of tumors could help improve patient outcomes. #PhF24 awardee Dr. Dimitris Mathios of Washington University in St. Louis aims to use advanced DNA sequencing techniques and #AI to identify patterns of molecular changes in the blood of #BrainCancer patients in order to develop a noninvasive diagnostic test.

New research from #PhF22 awardee Dr. Ritu Raman of the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE) found that #exercise can have benefits at the level of individual #neurons. Her PhF-supported research suggests that exercise can lead to significant nerve growth. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ggWJMtkJ
