IIT-Gandhinagar researchers develop new range of wearable sensors – ET HealthWorld
Ahmedabad: Technology that was once science fiction has become a reality. A shoe can alert the wearer that they are prone to fall, or a watch tells its user that their blood pressure is getting higher, and they should stop the physical exercise to avert the risk of a heart attack, or that a smart … Read more
IIT-M researchers develop tool to detect glioblastoma, a malignant tumour of the brain, spinal cord
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) have developed a machine learning-based computational tool to detect malignant tumours in the brain and spinal cord. Called glioblastoma mutiform drivers (GBMDriver), the tool is available publicly online. Glioblastoma is a fast and aggressively growing tumour with limited therapeutic options and a survival rate of … Read more
IIT Madras researchers develop database on coronaviruses
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed an online open-source database on coronaviruses’ neutralising antibodies. The database “Ab-CoV” has detailed information about all COVID-related antibodies identified so far, including the source of each antibody, the viral proteins and strains they recognise. Ab-CoV database includes 1,780 coronavirus-related antibodies and can help develop drugs … Read more
