Technology and Innovation

When we think of dangerous, unseen challenges to public health, pathogens or toxins often come to mind. Another threat we need to consider: the algorithms increasingly used in health care settings.

By centering rehabilitation services in primary care, ReLAB-HS aims to expand access to this essential medical care.

Gain-of-function research can help science get ahead of potential threats—but is it too much of a risk?

New tools reveal how differences in individual cells within bacterial communities help them survive—and suggest targets for overcoming drug resistance.

Researchers developed a new, highly sensitive, molecular diagnostic field assay that detects cholera from a stool or water sample in minutes.  The Bloomberg School team has already used similar technology to develop rapid tests for both ETEC and Shigella.
