Fox News Ebola outbreak reported in African country — here’s what you need to know Samuel Scarpino, director of AI and life sciences and professor of health sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, reiterated that the ongoing situation in rural DRC is “quite serious.” Fox News One state leads country in human bird flu with nearly 40 confirmed cases Samuel Scarpino, director of AI and life sciences and professor of health sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, is calling for “decisive action” to protect individuals who may be in contact with infected livestock and also to alert the public about the risks associated with wild birds and infected backyard flocks. Bird Flu Is a National Embarrassment This sliver of opportunity was narrow but clear, Sam Scarpino, an infectious-disease modeler and flu researcher at Northeastern University, whose team has been closely tracking a timeline of the American outbreak, told me. In hindsight, “realistically, that was probably our window,” he said. “We were just too slow.” Fox News Virus outbreak in China sparks pandemic concerns: What to know about HMPV Samuel Scarpino, director of AI and life sciences and professor of health sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, agrees that the general risk in the U.S. is low. Fox News Bird flu patient had virus mutations, sparking concern about human spread “The same mutations were not present in viral genomes sampled from the backyard birds that presumably infected the individual,” Samuel Scarpino, director of AI and life sciences and professor of health sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, confirmed to Fox News Digital. The Tribune U.S. Milk to Be Tested for Bird Flu Virus “The positive H5N1 samples from raw milk sitting on the shelves in California highlights the potential risk for milk processors who interact with milk before it’s pasteurized, and also to members of the public who consume raw milk,” said Samuel Scarpino, director of A.I. and life sciences at Northeastern University. Fox News Deadly virus samples went missing from lab in ‘major biosecurity breach,’ say authorities Sam Scarpino, PhD, director of AI and life sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, confirmed that the situation in Australia amounts to a “critical biosecurity lapse.” Fox News Bird flu surges in several US states with reports of new outbreaks: ‘Getting worse’ Sam Scarpino, PhD, director of AI and life sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, said he considers the increased H5N1 influenza cases “quite concerning.” Fox News Human bird flu case presumed in Canada, teenage patient is hospitalized Sam Scarpino, PhD, director of AI and life sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, said the potential H5N1 infection is Canada is “concerning” for two reasons. Samuel Scarpino for Northeastern Global News Northeastern network scientists are developing AI tools to predict — and prevent — the next epidemic Northeastern network scientists are developing AI tools to predict — and prevent — the next epidemic Director of AI and life sciences Samuel Scarpino is co-author on a new paper that describes how AI can help model future epidemics. How accurate are the new at-home flu tests? Northeastern experts explain How accurate are the new at-home flu tests? Northeastern experts explain With a severe flu season impacting thousands and COVID still a thing, should you stock up on the new at-home tests for flu and COVID? Is your backyard chicken flock putting you at risk of bird flu? Is your backyard chicken flock putting you at risk of bird flu? Samuel Scarpino, Northeastern expert in pathogen surveillance, says the risk is low but people should take precautions against the disease. What is ‘gain of function’? Why scientists are divided about the risk and benefits of experimenting with deadly viruses What is ‘gain of function’? Why scientists are divided about the risk and benefits of experimenting with deadly viruses Donald Trump is the latest president to consider a halt to research that enhances the transmissibility of possible pandemic pathogens. What is HMPV, the cold-like virus circulating in China? What is HMPV, the cold-like virus circulating in China? Northeastern experts say HMPV it’s so common you’ve probably already had it without realizing it. Bird flu mutations raise red flags. Northeastern expert warns of increasing human adaptation Bird flu mutations raise red flags. Northeastern expert warns of increasing human adaptation The virus likely mutated during the hospitalization of a Canadian teen, but risk of transmission is low, for now, a Northeastern expert says. Has the avian flu been spread by human contact? Are we on the brink of another epidemic? Has the avian flu been spread by human contact? Are we on the brink of another epidemic? Life sciences expert Samuel Scarpino says it’s time to ramp up response to avian flu after possible first human-to-human transmission. A person contracted bird flu. How worried should you be about the virus? A person contracted bird flu. How worried should you be about the virus? Bird flu is always a concern for health officials because of its effects on food supply chains and its potential for human infections. Can AI help scientists develop drugs faster? Northeastern Institute for Experiential AI explores how the emerging technology is reshaping pharmaceutical development Can AI help scientists develop drugs faster? Northeastern Institute for Experiential AI explores how the emerging technology is reshaping pharmaceutical development Artificial intelligence tools used for medical research powered by large language models could have helped cut that time in half. Responsible AI begins with ethics, security and transparency, Northeastern experts say Responsible AI begins with ethics, security and transparency, Northeastern experts say The theme of the conference was “Leading with AI Responsibly.” More than 200 people attended the event in person and hundreds watched online.
