Two teams of Koch Institute investigators will share their innovations using machine learning tools to improve lung cancer detection. Coupling machine learning algorithms with responsive nanoparticles, KI alum Ava Amini and Jesse Kirkpatrick of the Bhatia Lab develop noninvasive diagnostics to classify tumor types and inform patient interventions. They are joined by KI computer scientist Regina Barzilay and oncologist Lecia Sequist who will discuss how they use algorithms to look deeper into radiology images to predict future cancer risk.
