Co-Author Craig Mundie and ISB’s Dr. Jim Heath discuss AI’s rapid evolution, ethical considerations, and potential to revolutionize science and society in a compelling Town Hall event.

ISB researchers have uncovered a stealth survival strategy that melanoma cells use to evade targeted therapy, offering a promising new approach to improving treatment outcomes.

Scientists at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) reveal how T cells “decide” their fate in fighting infections like COVID-19, paving the way for improved treatments for infections, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.

ISB hosted a virtual event to share updates on the ongoing RECOVER study, a national NIH-funded initiative to understand and address Long COVID. 

Infection, autoimmunity and cancer account for 40 percent of deaths worldwide. In a Cell Reports paper, ISB researchers detail how the human immune system works in common ways across diseases – findings that offer promising avenues for exploring multi-disease therapeutic strategies.
