President’s message: Progress and opportunity for science and medicine

Communications Department — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 16:00:32 +0000

his is an extraordinary moment in time for the biomedical sciences. Seven decades ago, the discovery of the structure of DNA sparked a revolution in understanding life. In the decades since, the knowledge of fundamental biology we have accumulated has led to innovative treatments for many difficult-to-treat diseases, and many more are now within reach....

AI goes biological at 90th CSHL Symposium

Samuel Diamond — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:00:42 +0000

One computer scientist introduced the virtual patient, a “digital twin” capable of modeling different cancer treatments and their potential outcomes. Another used AI to predict how viruses like COVID might mutate, so that vaccines can be prepared in advance. A third suggested drug development steps that normally take three years could be completed in as...

How our biological clock starts and keeps ticking

C. elegans. The clock ensures that each of four larval stages begins precisely when it should, lasts as long as needed, and never repeats." data-description="A clock with twisting green hands and a spiral effect creating an illusion of infinite time." />Imagine a train parked at the station. Passengers climb aboard and find their seats. Conductors move up and down the aisles, checking tickets. But there’s a problem—the engineer’s watch is broken. As a result, the doors never close, the whistle never sounds, and the train never starts. Something similar occurs in cells when developmental timing...

A new theory of brain development

Margaret Osborne — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 16:00:18 +0000

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? ��ϳԹ��Դ neuroscientists have come up with a surprisingly simple answer that could have far-reaching implications for biology...

AI, monkey brains, and the virtue of small thinking

Samuel Diamond — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:00:30 +0000

What does it take to make AI that can pass as human? Try massive clusters of supercomputers. To build human-like intelligence, computer scientists think big. However, for neuroscientists who want to understand how real brains work, today’s AI only goes so far, as it replaces one deeply complicated system (the brain) with another (AI). How...

DEGU debuts with better AI predictions and explanations

Nick Wurm — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 12:30:55 +0000

Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm. In biology, AI tools called deep neural networks (DNNs) have proven invaluable for predicting the results of genomic experiments. Their usefulness has these tools poised to set the stage for efficient, AI-guided research and potentially lifesaving discoveries—if scientists can work out the kinks. “Right now, there are...

AI offers ‘roadmap’ to plant genetics

Margaret Osborne — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 12:30:47 +0000

As global temperatures rise, ��ϳԹ��Դ (CSHL) scientists work to grow stronger, more resilient crops. Yet, this process is challenging. Plants often have several related genes that control desirable traits, such as size or drought resistance. Finding genes with overlapping functions, or “redundant genes,” is a near-impossible scavenger hunt. “Most of the time,...

All mice squeak, but only some sing. Scotinomys teguina, aka Alston’s singing mice, hail from the cloud forests of Costa Rica. More than 2,000 miles north, ��ϳԹ��Դ (CSHL) neuroscientists study these musically gifted mammals to better understand the evolutionary origins of vocal communication.

Is an AI singularity possible?

Nick Fiore — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:30:37 +0000

How close is artificial intelligence to matching biological intelligence? When will computers be able to think and act as humans do? If you ask one of the big tech companies currently developing AI, the answer will likely be “soon.” But for CSHL NeuroAI Scholars Kyle Daruwalla and Christian Pehle, the possibility of a so-called AI...

Imagine your immune cells could be modified to attack any kind of cancer. T cell receptor (TCR) therapy has the potential to one day become a universal cancer treatment. But there are risks. Similarities between cancerous and healthy cells can affect the body’s immune response, causing T cells to attack unintended targets. TCR therapy needs...
