The Future of Brain-Computer Interfaces

A technical primer on how BCIs capture, filter, and decode neural signals, from non-invasive EEG headsets to implanted microelectrode arrays, and how Neuralink and Synchron are turning that signal chain into devices that restore movement and speech for people living with paralysis.

Modeling Synthetic Biological Systems

Synthetic biology lets researchers wire genes, proteins, and regulatory elements together like circuits, but those circuits don't always behave the way the lab predicts. A walkthrough of how computational models simulate genetic-circuit dynamics before any cells are touched, using a toxin-sensing fluorescent bacterium as a worked example.

The Hidden Role of Fluid Dynamics in Blood Flow & Disease

Sumiran Sharma

Laminar blood flow stimulates endothelial cells to release nitric oxide; disturbed flow at arterial branches and bifurcations does the opposite, and that's exactly where atherosclerotic plaques tend to form. An exploration of how shear stress and turbulence drive cardiovascular disease, and how computational fluid dynamics is now used to design grafts and stents that restore healthy flow patterns.

Precision Medicine: Multi-Omics, Biomarkers & Companion Diagnostics

Modern medicine is shifting from treating disease after diagnosis to predicting it from molecular signals. A survey of how multi-omics profiling, biomarker discovery, and companion diagnostics are powering individualized treatment, including the I-PREDICT study, where nearly 95% of advanced-cancer patients had distinct tumour DNA profiles and matched therapies improved response and survival.
