The Orion project is part of the flagship initiative, ‘Artificial Intelligence in the Life Sciences, from a Human Health Perspective’ by Swiss Federal Innovation Agency Innosuisse. The goal of the research project is to help improve the treatment of each cancer patient.

In a promising advance for cancer treatment, Northwestern University scientists have re-engineered the molecular structure of a common chemotherapy drug, making it dramatically more soluble and effective and less toxic.

The types of fats we consume directly impacts the survival and strength of the body’s immune cells and ability to fight disease, researchers have found.

A new method can produce custom-designed proteins in just 4-6 weeks that can arm the T cells of the body's immune system to attack and kill cancer cells.

The precise pH monitoring is crucial for the stability and performance of nanoparticles in drug delivery. Read how these biocompatible materials are developed and at what step the pH measurement is incorporated into the process.

A new study has revealed that even a few mutated cells can significantly impact the entire blood-forming system. This new finding could potentially change the way doctors treat their cancer patients.

A new AI model developed at Stanford can analyse data from a single night’s sleep to predict the risk of more than 100 diseases — years before symptoms appear — opening a new window on preventive and precision medicine.

Genetic testing for key gene variants before chemotherapy can cut severe side effects nearly in half for gastrointestinal cancer patients, a Penn Medicine study shows — paving the way for safer, more personalized treatment.

A large Danish study suggests the source of dietary nitrate may matter for brain health. Researchers found higher nitrate intake from vegetables was linked to a lower risk of dementia, while nitrate from drinking water and animal-based foods was associated with a higher risk.

How much people drink matters — but so does what they drink. A new large-scale study suggests that low to moderate wine consumption may be associated with lower cardiovascular risk, while even modest intake of beer, cider or spirits was linked to higher mortality.
