Importance of creating a standard data science pipeline for evaluating machine learning models.

We built and deployed this repository to help the medical community maximize canine data’s contributions to oncology.

Deep learning demonstrated a method of predicting genetic subtypes and mutations from histology

Three students from Butler University and Hood College participated in a 10-week virtual training at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research, learning more about tools developed by the Accelerated Therapeutics for Opportunities in Medicine (ATOM). FNL co-founded the ATOM consortium in 2017 as a public–private collaboration with…

Creating a searchable catalog of pediatric cancer resources.

Artificial intelligence has rapidly become a buzzword that evokes fear and hope. A recent panel discussion dug into this issue at the 2023 BIO International Convention, one of the world’s largest biotech partnering events, attracting more than 14,000 biotech leaders to Boston this year. The discussion, “Is Your Billion-Dollar Oncology AI…

When Chloe Thangavelu, a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Irvine, received funding from the National Science Foundation for a six-month internship, she eagerly set out to find an internship where she could combine her biological and computational expertise and gain experience with machine learning. That’s why she reached out to…

A research collaboration has made early progress toward a potential vaccine for type 1 diabetes, a long-sought goal for an autoimmune disease that affects more than 1.5 million Americans. The team, including Frederick National Laboratory computational scientist David Bell, previously discovered a new protein antibody in type 1 diabetes…

Dogs and humans have been companions throughout recorded history. Our four-legged friends appear in early written tales, such as the Mesopotamian poem The Epic of Gilgamesh, and are mentioned by name in ancient Egyptian inscriptions. In prehistoric gravesites worldwide, dogs are found laid to rest alongside humans. They’ve been with us through…

Researchers trained deep learning models to predict the aggressiveness of rare soft tissue tumors.
