...much more severe symptoms. Previous studies which examined the parasite in laboratory cultures had only found one group. The study, published yesterday in the online edition of the journal Nature, was the result of an international collaboration between researchers at institutions including the Broad Institute—a joint Harvard-MIT venture—and the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). To study the parasite in vivo, Johanna P. Daily—an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the first author of the study—collected blood samples from over 40 malaria patients...
...international consortium of researchers, including scientists at the Harvard-MIT Broad Institute, has identified three genes that contain genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes. The discovery represents an important leap in understanding common diseases, including strokes, heart attacks, and diabetes, from a genetics perspective, according to David M. Altshuler, one of the primary researchers involved with the discovery. “The most important story here is that, it’s been clear for almost a century that common diseases such as diabetes run in families, and half of the risk is genetic susceptibility. But up until this...
...student, last at the joint Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology Ph.D program, Alterovitz said he was interested in patient monitoring and eventually began exploring a way to represent complex genetic structures in a more accessible format. Ultimately, this led him to music...
...from the Boston area descended upon the CGIS South Building on Saturday, armed with ideas on how to revitalize the economy of their native island. The symposium was part of a two-day conference, “Restoring Economic Growth in Puerto Rico,” presented by the Harvard-MIT Puerto Rico Caucus. The caucus held the conference so that professors, businessmen, government officials, and students could exchange their proposals for economic reform. “We wanted to create an intellectual forum,” said Luis A. Martinez ’08, the lead Harvard representative...
...Harvard-MIT institute announced a $100 million gift this week to create a new center to study psychiatric disease, in a move that backers say will jump-start the search for the genetic basis of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The Stanley Medical Research Institute awarded the gift—the largest ever given for psychiatric disease research—to the Broad Institute, a three-year-old joint venture between Harvard and MIT. “There’s no understanding of the causes of these diseases, and that needs to come from collaboration between clinical people and those...
