Research and Education that Matter

Co-founded by an MIT alumna, the Advanced Silicon Group has developed a handheld system that measures protein concentrations in just minutes. The tool should make drug development and manufacturing much faster and less costly.

The Boston Globe noted key technologies, including the internet and the first widely used electronic navigation system, developed at MIT with federal support. The development of the internet has 鈥淢IT鈥檚 fingerprints all over it,鈥 John Guttag said.

With a new type of pill, some medications could be taken once a week instead of daily. In a phase 3 clinical trial, the capsule delivered the drug risperidone in patients with schizophrenia, controlling their symptoms just as well as daily doses.

MIT researchers developed a new robot that鈥檚 designed to help physically support the elderly and prevent falls at home. 鈥淚t's easy to see how something like this could make a big difference for seniors wanting to stay independent,鈥 Fox News reported.

In a world without MIT, radar wouldn鈥檛 have been available to help win World War II. We might not have email, CT scans, time-release drugs, photolithography, or GPS. And we鈥檇 lose over 30,000 companies, employing millions of people. Can you imagine?

鈥婼ince its founding, MIT has been key to helping American science and innovation lead the world. Discoveries that begin here generate jobs and power the economy 鈥 and what we create today builds a better tomorrow for all of us.
