MIT scientists debut a generative AI model that could create molecules addressing hard-to-treat diseases

More than 300 people across academia and industry spilled into an auditorium to attend a BoltzGen seminar on Thursday, Oct. 30, hosted by the Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health (MIT Jameel Clinic). Headlining the event was MIT PhD student and BoltzGen’s first author Hannes Stärk, who had announced BoltzGen just a few days prior.

BoltzGen MIT Presentation

BoltzGen, a new open-source tool designed by MIT researchers, officially launched on October 26. It is a new generative model for designing protein and peptides of any modality to bind a wide range of biomolecular targets. The researchers are offering a live, in-person presentation with demos and discussion–register today!

Join the BoltzGen in MIT’s Stata Center, room 32-123, as they share details of the new model BoltzGen and discuss the future of biomolecular design 🧬

A new compound called enterololin suppresses a group of bacteria linked to Crohn’s disease flare-ups while leaving the rest of the microbiome largely intact. Researchers say it’s a step toward treatments designed to knock out only the bacteria causing trouble (Credits: Alex Shipps/MIT CSAIL, using assets from the researchers and Pexels).

AI maps how a new antibiotic targets gut bacteria

For patients with inflammatory bowel disease, antibiotics can be a double-edged sword. The broad-spectrum drugs often prescribed for gut flare-ups can kill helpful microbes alongside harmful ones, sometimes worsening symptoms over time. When fighting gut inflammation, you don’t always want to bring a sledgehammer to a knife fight.

Fetal SMPL was trained on 20,000 MRI volumes to predict the location and size of a fetus and create sculpture-like 3D representations. The approach could enable doctors to precisely measure things like the size of a baby’s head and compare these metrics with healthy fetuses at the same age (Credits: Alex Shipps and Yingcheng Liu/MIT CSAIL).

Machine-learning tool gives doctors a more detailed 3D picture of fetal health

For pregnant women, ultrasounds are an informative (and sometimes necessary) procedure. They typically produce two-dimensional black-and-white scans of fetuses that can reveal key insights, including biological sex, approximate size, and abnormalities like heart issues or cleft lip. If your doctor wants a closer look, they may use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which uses magnetic fields to capture images that can be combined to create a 3D view of the fetus.
