Predict responsibly: Fairness needed in algorithmic decision-making, U of T experts say

May 01, 2018

University of Toronto PhD student David Madras says many of today’s algorithms are good at making accurate predictions, but don’t know how to handle uncertainty well. If a badly calibrated algorithm makes the wrong decision, it’s usually very wrong.

Lab-on-a-chip delivers critical immunity data for vulnerable populations

April 25, 2018

For millions of displaced people around the world – many of them refugees, living in temporary shelters under crowded conditions – an outbreak of disease is devastating. Each year, the measles virus kills more than 134,000 people globally, and another 100,000 children are born with defects caused by congenital rubella syndrome.

Cells are like Jenga: U of T study sheds light on how genes work together to keep cells healthy

April 20, 2018

To understand how cells work, biologists like to take them apart. By removing genes from cells in diverse combinations, researchers have now uncovered how different genes work together to keep cells alive.

Scientists uncover connection between post-natal sensory experiences and brain development

April 11, 2018

New research by University of Toronto neuroscientists sheds light on links between early brain growth and sensations experienced by animals soon after birth.

A Hubble Space Telescope image of the galaxy NGC1052-DF2. Distant galaxies are visible through DF2 due to its lack of stars and “ghostly” nature.

U of T, Yale astronomers discover 'see-through' galaxy with almost no dark matter

March 28, 2018

A team of astronomers has discovered a unique galaxy—the first of its kind—that appears to contain virtually no dark matter. It is an exceptional find since galaxies are commonly thought to contain more dark matter than the ordinary matter that makes up a galaxy’s stars, gas and dust.

U of T chemistry team advances to 'close the carbon cycle'

November 15, 2017

Making fuel out of polluted air, using it to power industry, and then taking the emissions from that industry back out of the air to create more fuel sounds too good to be true.

Feeling distressed?

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
