Computation & AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a groundbreaking way of re-shaping cancer research and oncology, leading to dramatic changes in medicine as well. Cancer researchers and clinicians now use machine learning, advanced modeling, and large data mining to improve research, diagnosis, treatments, patient care, and outcomes.

Computational biologists, computer scientists, and mathematicians, use AI to develop algorithms capable of performing unprecedented calculations and tasks, as well as analyzing different types of large genomic and proteomic data sets, predicting protein structures, patients’ samples and radiological images, and screening large sets of history records of both patients and healthy individuals. Thus, different areas of mathematics, computer science, and algorithm development are converging to form a new transformative venue in cancer research and oncology.
