AI tool developed with potential to more precisely match cancer drugs to patients

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have created an artificial intelligence (AI) tool which "uses data from individual cells inside tumors to predict whether a person's cancer will respond to a specific drug."  Single-cell RNA sequencing, providing higher resolution data at the single-cell level, is exploring transfer learning whereby AI models are being used to predict drug responses.
