Using DNA signatures to identify genetically engineered organisms that have been released into the environment

In partnership with scientists from Raytheon and other universities, Eric Young is helping develop a method for using DNA signatures to identify genetically engineered organisms that have been accidentally or intentionally released beyond the lab and into the environment. If a genetically or synthetically engineered organism is released into the environment, how will we know?

Solved: A major bioengineering problem blocking the regeneration of human tissues and organs

Researchers face a fundamental challenge as they seek to scale up human tissue regeneration from small lab samples to full-size tissues, bones, even whole organs to implant in people to treat disease or traumatic injuries: how to establish a vascular system that delivers blood deep into the developing tissue. Current bioengineering techniques, including 3-D printing,

Giving Government Special Access to Data Poses Major Security Risks

In recent months, government officials in the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries have made repeated calls for law-enforcement agencies to be able to access, upon due authorization, encrypted data to help them solve crimes. Beyond the ethical and political implications of such an approach, though, is a more practical question: If we

MIT spin-out Robot Rebuilt wants to give robotic hands a better sense of touch

Eduardo Torres-Jara wants to expand the kinds of tasks robots can perform, by giving them more sensitive fingers. And his startup, Robot Rebuilt, is out making the rounds of Boston venture capital firms. The new robot, Tactico, builds upon work done at MIT‘s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, and supervised by Rod Brooks, the iRobot co-founder who is
