LAB ACTIVITY
Recent publications, awards, press, and milestones from the lab.
2026-05-01
Launching the ReXGrounding Challenge — grounding free-text radiology findings to 3D CT segmentations on 3,492 expert-annotated chest CT scans across 14 focal and non-focal abnormality categories. Pre-registration is open; results presented at MICCAI 2026.
2026-04-08
New JACC study with co-first author Julián Acosta: deep learning features from routine head CTs improve cardiovascular risk prediction over clinical-only models (C-index 0.82 vs. 0.75) and reclassify 15.7% of ED patients — most correctly — by surfacing subclinical vascular disease.
2026-03-20
New Nature Biotechnology perspective led by Vish Rao on generalist biological AI — arguing the next frontier is not better single-task models, but systems that operate across the many layers of biology.
2026-03-12
New Nature Medicine perspective (Luo et al.) proposing the Clinical Environment Simulator: evaluate medical AI inside a digital hospital where every decision dynamically alters future patient states, instead of relying on static benchmarks.
2026-03-05
New in NEJM AI: MedVersa, an LLM-orchestrated generalist foundation model that outperforms specialist systems across classification, detection, and reporting — and that radiologists judged clinically equivalent to human-written chest X-ray reports 64% of the time (91% for normal studies).
