Description

Can we use artificial intelligence (AI) to predict where a brain tumour might recur at the point of first diagnosis in order to pre-emptively treat it to stop recurrence?

Dr Francesca Cozzi (a PhD student at the University of Cambridge) and Dr Curtis Holliman (Associate Professor in the Mathematics Department at The Catholic University of America, USA) believe this will eventually be possible.

In this exciting conversation they talk about their collaboration to find a mechanism to mathematically model the progression of glioblastoma. They highlight why it is important to achieve this in an explainable way using AI, to keep the process of decision making transparent and interpretable to self-validate the models they develop.
