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...

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...

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...

At the Lab: AI evolves

Communications Department — Tue, 20 May 2025 11:30:14 +0000

Today’s AI can talk the talk, but it literally can’t walk the walk. This week At the Lab, CSHL Professors Anthony Zador and Alexei Koulakov discuss the biological brain’s multibillion-year evolutionary advantage over artificial intelligence—and the new AI they built based on that very concept.

The greatest challenge in the universe

Margaret Osborne — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 11:30:41 +0000

Is perception really reality? Philosophical considerations aside, scientists agree that perception certainly dictates reality. Throughout our lifetime, our brains build up a world based on what our senses detect. Often, these senses process environmental stimuli without us even realizing it. For example, the subconscious brain can pick up the rhythm of conversations or notice behavioral...

Navlakha named Simons Foundation Pivot fellow

Nick Wurm — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 12:30:26 +0000

Scientific progress isn’t always a straight line. Discovery demands flexibility—a willingness to go off the beaten path. Oftentimes, that means leaving one’s comfort zone. And that’s exactly what ��ϳԹ��Դ (CSHL) Associate Professor Saket Navlakha has in mind. Navlakha has received a 2024 Simons Foundation Pivot Fellowship. Launched in 2022, the fellowship supports...

The next evolution of AI begins with ours

Samuel Diamond — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 12:30:54 +0000

In a sense, each of us begins life ready for action. Many animals perform amazing feats soon after they’re born. Spiders spin webs. Whales swim. But where do these innate abilities come from? Obviously, the brain plays a key role as it contains the trillions of neural connections needed to control complex behaviors. However, the...

How do we interpret what AI tells us without knowing the logic of its own interpretations? How do we make artificial intelligence more efficient and reliable without fully understanding biological intelligence’s efficiency and reliability problems? This season’s final Research Rewind brings us from the realm of quantitative biology to neuroscience, genomics, and beyond. You’ll hear...

NeuroAI with an eye on equity

Margaret Osborne — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 11:30:28 +0000

When OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, artificial intelligence quickly hit the mainstream and became a global cultural phenomenon. The chatbot dominated headlines as it authored news articles, passed the bar exam, drafted lesson plans for teachers, and even wrote code. ChatGPT became the fastest-growing consumer application ever. In the months following its launch, companies...
