Using AI to predict how cancers respond to drugs, accepted at an IEEE conference
Two patients with the same cancer can respond completely differently to the same drug, and much of that difference is written in their biology. Arfa built machine learning models that combine multiple layers of biological data, known as multi-omics, to predict how cancers will respond to specific drugs. The goal is to help match patients to the treatments most likely to work for them. Her paper was accepted at an IEEE conference.
