Cancer care has become more precise over time, but outcomes can still vary widely. Now, researchers are looking beyond mutations to how tumors behave. In new findings published in Nature Methods, Microsoft researcher Lorin Crawford shares how the right data can help AI reveal patterns in cell behavior that may lead to better ways to match therapies to patients.

New research in Nature Methods from Project Ex Vivo shows AI models learn more from diverse cell states than from scaled datasets alone, a finding that could reshape how therapies are matched to patients. https://msft.it/6040vgE8i

Last week at Microsoft Build, our team turned developer activity into light. We called the piece 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻𝘀: an interactive art installation built by the MSR IDEA Studio and hardware lab team using LED light towers inspired by the Build visual system. Behind the scenes, we used 𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 to help create the software, firmware, and data pipeline that drove the experience. What I loved about this project is that it made the developer story physical. Code, agents, data, fabrication, creative coding, and event infrastructure all came together in something people could walk up to, watch, and explore. Build is about what developers can create next. For us, this was a chance to show that the future of software does not have to stay on a screen. Huge thanks to the teammates and partners who helped bring 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻𝘀 from concept to show floor. #MicrosoftBuild #MicrosoftResearch #GitHubCopilot #VSCode #AgenticAI #CreativeCoding #DataVisualization Microsoft, Microsoft Research, Chris O'Dowd, Teresa LaScala, Lex Story, Cynthia Schray, Zachary Tenorio, Elliot Mueller, Heather Mitchell,
During the Inside Azure Innovations breakout at Build 2026, Microsoft Azure CTO, deputy CISO and technical fellow Mark Russinovich introduced Project Mosaic, an experimental optical interconnect technology from Microsoft Research Cambridge using microLEDs for low-power, high-speed data transmission. A live demo led by senior researcher Kaoutar Benyahya displays individual LED modulation forming letters, proving the ability to control individual microLEDs.

That’s a wrap on Microsoft Build 2026. Huge thank you to the researchers and team who brought it to life on the floor this week. If you missed what we shared for #MSBuild, check it out here: https://msft.it/6044vjflj
What do the people who build the foundations for others to build on like to build themselves? The answers may surprise you, everything from sandwiches to the future. #MSBuild
You don’t have to be a developer. You can just build stuff. Scott Hanselman on his first walk through the Microsoft Research Lab at #MSBuild.

A three‑month pilot in a Midwestern bottling plant shows what happens when AI moves beyond chat and into decision-making, where constraints shift, stakes are real, and answers must hold. https://msft.it/6043vjYUF
