Dana-Farber's MARLIN tool uses AI to classify acute leukemia via DNA methylation in under two hours. It's not just faster; it also resolves diagnostic "blind spots" by identifying new epigenetic classes and cryptic genetic events. #MedAI #MedSky 🧬💻
Diagnostic tool enables rapid leukemia subtype classification
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a diagnostic tool that could transform the way acute leukemia is identified and treated. The tool, called MARLIN (Methylation- and AI-guided…

FDA-approved FGFR inhibitors demonstrate potential as targeted therapy for embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes, a rare and aggressive pediatric brain cancer driven by unique genetic alterations. doi.org/g9mb9g
FDA-approved FGFR inhibitors show promise against rare and aggressive pediatric brain tumor
A study led by researchers at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has uncovered critical insights into the biology of embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR), a rare and aggressive brain tumor affecting young children.
