Using CancerOmicsNet like molecular speed dating, the AI can help researchers quickly match cancer cell lines with the drugs likely to be the most toxic to their growth and genetic profile. — Image by rawpixel.com on Freepik

A team of Louisiana State University (LSU) researchers has developed a way to determine which drug therapies work best against an individual's unique type of cancer, possibly providing a way to find cures more quickly and make treatment more affordable.

The interdisciplinary team includes researchers from the School of Veterinary Medicine, College of Science, College of Engineering and the Center for Computation & Technology. It created CancerOmicsNet, a new drug discovery engine run by artificial intelligence.
