When Raghav Sehgal arrived at Yale as a graduate student several years ago, he wanted to explore the use of powerful computer science tools in cancer research. With an engineering background and a computational biology startup already under his belt, he was well prepared.
The first wave of blockbuster obesity medications, including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), transformed weight loss by achieving levels once thought possible only with bariatric surgery.
Using a new combination of computational tools to analyze ancient DNA , Yale researchers have discovered two ancient, extinct giant tortoise lineages that once lived on the Galapagos Islands.

Two disorders with big names—trichotillomania (repeated hair-pulling) and excoriation disorder (repeated skin-picking)—were the focus of a recent Yale study looking at potential genetic causes. The two disorders are part of a group called body-focused repetitive behaviors, or BFRBs.
Adelaide researchers are challenging decades-old assumptions about brain cancer treatment in a bid to make radiation therapy more effective against tumours, while reducing damage to healthy tissue.
The center was established in 2021 as a developmental center in partnership with UTHealth Houston, Baylor College of Medicine, and the Texas Biomedical Research Institute.

New research from UTHealth Houston found firefighters experience measurable biological changes in their blood and urine within 24 hours of fighting a fire–changes that may help identify early cancer risk, the leading cause of death among firefighters.
Scientists have revealed the DNA identity of the “initiator,” a crucial sequence that kickstarts gene activation. AI analysis of a half million data points deciphered the initiator’s identity. Researchers can use the new information to scan for mutations that may lead to diseases such as cancer.
