Stanford Medicine is building a revolutionary cancer research and treatment hub in Redwood City that will bring scientists and doctors under one roof to accelerate breakthrough discoveries. The integrated center aims to transform how cancer care works by connecting cutting-edge research directly to patient treatment.
Stanford researchers just released a free platform that helps scientists understand how our phone habits affect our mental and physical health while keeping our privacy safe. The tool could lead to personalized health interventions delivered right when people need them most.
A Stanford researcher is studying how nutrition might help treat serious mental health conditions. The emerging field of "metabolic psychiatry" explores connections between what we eat and our mental wellbeing.
After facing divorce, job upheaval, and a parent's Alzheimer's diagnosis, a 44-year-old writer turned to mindset research and discovered science-backed strategies that transformed his outlook. Stanford psychologists are proving we can reshape our thinking, even when life feels overwhelming.
Forgetting yoga once and never doing it again? A Stanford researcher discovered why good habits vanish overnight and created a proven method to make them stick for good.
Stanford researchers have achieved major wins in three life-changing areas: a new immune therapy that shrank deadly childhood brain tumors in nine of 11 patients, a fertilizer that captures carbon while boosting crop yields by 50%, and a solar-powered device that harvests drinking water from thin air. These discoveries could transform cancer treatment, agriculture, and water access for millions.
Stanford researchers discovered AI writing assistants provide different feedback to students based on race and gender labels, sparking important conversations about fairness in educational technology. The findings could help make AI tools more equitable for all learners.
Two Duke alumni just earned prestigious Knight-Hennessy Scholarships covering three years of graduate study at Stanford University. Both are heading into medical research with missions to make healthcare more accessible to underserved communities.
Stanford researchers are solving one of AI's biggest creative problems: making image generators actually listen to what artists want. New tools give creators real control over their AI collaborators.
Stanford Medicine researchers reversed Type 1 diabetes in mice using a groundbreaking dual transplant that resets the immune system. The animals stayed diabetes-free for six months without insulin or immune suppressing drugs.
Scientists at Stanford, MIT, and Cambridge are using Google DeepMind's Co-Scientist AI to accelerate breakthroughs in liver disease, aging, and infectious diseases. The system helps researchers digest decades of studies in days, spotting connections humans might miss.
Stanford researchers discovered a treatment that reverses cartilage loss in aging joints and prevents arthritis from forming after injuries. The breakthrough could one day replace knee and hip surgeries for millions suffering from joint pain.
Stanford researchers created Virtual Lab, an AI system that designed 92 promising COVID-19 treatments in just days—work that would take human scientists months. Two of the AI-designed molecules successfully bound to both new variants and the original virus.
Stanford researchers used brain imaging to identify two biological subtypes of migraine headaches, a breakthrough that could end the guesswork in treating one of the world's leading causes of disability. The discovery may help millions of patients get the right treatment from day one.
Scientists at Stanford just received $13 million to use cutting-edge artificial intelligence to uncover the hidden genetic causes of ALS, a devastating disease that currently has no cure. They've already discovered one new gene and hope to find many more targets for future treatments.
