Detecting disease earlier: How a simple CRISPR tweak could make diagnostics faster, cheaper, and more accurate

A small change to a powerful molecular tool — using the CRISPR-Cas13 enzyme, which can detect RNA from viruses and cells — developed by Princeton researchers could help scientists detect disease faster and with greater accuracy.

Opening up the ‘Black Box’ of AI Models to Understand the Human Mind with Dr. Leslie and Dr. Lombrozo

In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Aanya Kasera sits down with Dr. Leslie and Dr. Lombrozo, professors and researchers who are part of heading the brand new interdisciplinary research initiative, Natural and Artificial Minds (NAM).


Demystifying computational neuropsychiatry: A deep dive into mental health research and resources with Professor Yael Niv

How do computational processes help us understand mental health disorders and precisely tailor treatments to each individual? In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Aanya Kasera sits down with Dr. Yael Niv, a professor and researcher in the Princeton Neuroscience Institute to learn more about computational neuropsychiatry and mental health on campus. Dr. Niv discusses her research in quantifying psychological disorders and her advice for the campus community on improving mental well-being.
