Project Overview
During clinical trials some candidates respond better to certain treatments and AI can be used to identify the cellular traits that makes the treatment work. The work is a collaboration by Nation Cancer Institute and many prominent hospitals and has found success. But still in research phase
Reported Results
Identifying the right candidates have achieved promising results including saving lives of several patients
