A multidisciplinary team of Weill Cornell Medicine researchers has received a five-year $5.7 million grant from the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health to fund a center aimed at developing messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to deter cancer development in at-risk groups.

The Weill Cornell Medicine CAP-IT Center for LNP RNA Immunoprevention was selected as one of two founding members of the Cancer Prevention-Interception Targeted Agent Discovery Program (CAP-IT), a collaborative research network funded by the NCI to discover agents that prevent or intercept cancer in high-risk populations.

The maniacally focused founder of Insilico Medicine is going all in on AI to discover new medicines and extend lifespan.

But researchers are now using artificial intelligence to accelerate parts of that process by orders of magnitude. The same kind of technology that recognizes your face or autocompletes your emails can potentially add years to your life, experts say.

It could decrease reliance on palm oil to produce biofuel. Have you ever guessed that a leftover coffee could turn into biodiesel? Here’s a remarkable development for bioscience.

• High quality biodiesel produced from microalgae ‘fed’ on leftover coffee grounds
• Breakthrough in the microalgal cultivation system
• Could decrease reliance on palm oil to produce biofuel.
