Research impacts

My lab at Max Kelsen delivered ML-trained, RNA-based assay for detection of primary in cancer of unknown primary, which is currently trialed by QLD Health, SA and NT Pathology. We are also working on similar solutions for immunotherapy outcomes prediction and AI-aided pathways for discovery of novel cancer treatments. H-index: 40, citations: 9,127.
