Cancer breakthrough possible through artificial intelligence

It is hoped artificial intelligence will lead to breakthrough drug discoveries at an Australian first research facility. The program will target proteins linked to different cancers to fast-track trials of new and improved treatments. The Bio21 Institute in Melbourne will put different proteins under the microscope to transform basic cancer discoveries into new treatments. A $2 million donation from the Australian Cancer Research Foundation will bankroll breakthrough technologies, including artificial intelligence. Researchers will also collaborate with clinicians around the country to find ways to make existing treatments more effective.
