We’re thrilled to share that Centaur Labs, in collaboration with our esteemed partners at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), has been awarded a $750,000 grant from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) through their Bits to Bytes Program. This grant, part of the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s recent $19.8 million commitment to advancing life sciences innovation, underscores the importance of our joint research in respiratory diagnostics and lung ultrasound technology.

The MLSC’s Bits to Bytes Program, established in 2018, provides support for scientific initiatives that generate and leverage large datasets to tackle vital life sciences challenges. This year, Bits to Bytes has allocated over $3 million across four transformative projects, further strengthening Massachusetts’ role as a global leader in life sciences innovation.

Governor Maura Healey announced this year’s grant recipients at the World Medical Innovation Forum, emphasizing Massachusetts’ dedication to healthcare advancement and research equity. We are deeply grateful to MLSC and the Healey-Driscoll Administration for their commitment to fostering impactful research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare.
