Ditch the Tea Leaves, Brew AI! Predicting Response to Breast Cancer Treatments

Dr Stephen John Sammut (Group Leader, Institute of Cancer Research and Consultant Medical Oncologist)
Forget crystal balls, it's time for AI! In this talk, we'll explore how we're using AI to analyse the genetic code of individual breast cancer cells and identify their weaknesses. We'll also see how AI can analyse how these cancer cells team up with other cells in the body to avoid detection by the immune system. By understanding these weaknesses and partnerships, AI is allowing us to develop tools to predict which treatments may be more effective for each patient. Join us to learn how the work we are doing will allow us to brew a future where everyone with breast cancer gets the personalised treatment they need.
