Dr. Manjari Kiran
Twelve young scientists from 4 SCO nations discussed the challenges under the thematic area of “Artificial Intelligence and Big data research and applications” wherein she presented her work on “Machine learning-based models to discover prognostic biomarkers and genetic interactions in Gliomas.” The prognosis and cancer treatment worldwide are primarily based on the caucasian population making it difficult even to validate the developed model on an independent dataset. She expressed the need for data transfer among SCO nations for better model development and validation.
