Network scientists identify 40 new drugs to test against COVID-19

Researchers at Northeastern mapped the way proteins within human cells behave after a cell is hijacked by the virus to find new and existing drugs that might be able to fight COVID-19. The team is now working with other experimental researchers to begin testing those drugs.

It’s not just your genes that are killing you. Everything else is, too.

Environmental factors drive the majority of our risk for non-communicable diseases, says Albert-László Barbási, Robert Gray Dodge Professor of Network Science at Northeastern. We need to be studying them.

You are what you eat. But what are you eating?

The USDA tracks only a fraction of the chemical compounds in our food. Giulia Menichetti, an associate research scientist at Northeastern’s Center for Complex Network Research, is trying to map all of them, to help us live longer, healthier lives.

What does it take to succeed?

Achievement is one thing. Success is something else entirely. This is the message of Northeastern network scientist Albert-László Barabási, whose research shows that the top performers aren’t always recognized as the best in their fields. Success, Barabási said Thursday at a public discussion with Northeastern President Joseph E. Aoun, is a collective measure that captures how people respond to our performance.

Scientists decode what makes a New York Times bestseller

Northeastern network scientist Albert-László Barabási and his colleagues have developed a model that harnesses the power of early sales data to predict how many total copies a book will sell. Their analysis uncovers a sales pattern that is common to all books and offers insight on what it takes to make the Times' bestseller list.

How Big Data and the science of science can revolutionize discovery

Northeastern network scientists Albert-László Barabási and Alessandro Vespignani want to "push the pedal" on science and its benefit to society. In a paper published Thursday in the journal Science, they described lessons learned from a literature review of the science of science.
