FusOn-pLM: A Fusion Oncoprotein-Specific Language Model for Predicting Drug-Resistant Mutations

Do you work with fusion oncoproteins? Explore a new protein language model (pLM) that NCI-funded researchers trained on fusion oncoproteins to advance discoveries in fusion-driven cancers!

Clinician sits behind a laptop. Above the laptop is the emblem of a shield, surrounded by blue crosses. A syringe is superimposed on the shield and the doctor is pressing the emblem with his finger. Denotes how AI is helping doctors select treatment for their patients.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Model “SCORPIO” Uses Blood Test to Predict Immunotherapy Benefits

Thanks to a new AI model called “SCORPIO,” you may someday be able to use a simple blood test and routine clinical information to decide which patients will benefit from immunotherapy.

Target shows one medication capsule in the bull’s eye, with four more tablets in the outside rings of the target. Illustrates the difficulty in finding the precise medication for treating diseases like cancer.

Machine Learning Model “BATCHIE” Helps Discover Effective Drug Combinations

Screening for the best medication for your patient could be more efficient thanks to a new model called “BATCHIE.” See how machine learning is helping boost precision medicine for cancer.

A person wearing a stethoscope holds a tablet with one hand and presses the screen with the other. The letters A-I are illuminated above the screen, depicting how doctors and researchers are using AI to address today’s biomedical issues.

Will Experts Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Making Cancer Treatment Decisions?

Would you use AI to help make decisions about cancer treatment? Check out this recent study on the complex AI-human interaction that’s at play when making decisions about treatment.

Example of nuclear wrinkling shows cells with oddly shaped nuclei.

NCI-Funded Researchers Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Untangle Nuclear Wrinkles

NCI-funded researchers are applying AI to digital pathology images to better understand cellular features, such as “nuclear wrinkling.” Such extreme wrinkling and folding is a hallmark of cancer.

Three dimensional rendering of a cancer tumor displaying the many different types of cells (signified by different colors and shapes) in the tumor cell microenvironment. The brightly colored cells are shown woven together into a ball, with additional cells orbiting the ball; red vasculature is shown both within the tumor and connecting to bloodstream.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Model, “HistoTME,” Aids in Predicting Response to Immunotherapy

NCI researchers debuted a new deep learning model that could help you decipher the cancer tumor’s microenvironment. The model holds a lot of promise for predicting which patients are most likely to benefit from checkpoint inhibitors.

Updated NCI Model Gains Greater Precision in Diagnosing Prostate Cancer

See how NCI researchers are working to find new ways of interpreting biopsies and managing prostate cancer. This recent model could lead to a more precise approach, reducing the need for additional and often unnecessary biopsies.

Doctor looks at an image on a screen showing the letters "AI," along with chemical structures, charts, and graphs. Illustrates the blending of biomedical science with technology.

NCI Study Examines Artificial Intelligence (AI) Versus Radiologists in Assessing Tumors

Wondering how to use AI for radiology? In a new study, NCI researchers found that AI may work best as an adjunct to the radiologist rather than a standalone solution, allowing radiologists to focus on cases that need more critical assessment.
