The National Science Foundation (NSF) Partnerships for Innovation - Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) program has awarded a $190,794 project grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton. The goal of this 17-month project, ending March 31, 2026, is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) technology platform to select optimal treatment options tailored to individual cancer patients, with the aim of prolonging patient life. The project will leverage SUNY's expertise in AI, biomedical research, and entrepreneurship to validate prototype gene assays for treatment selection and establish an AI-based system for discovering new cancer drugs or repurposing existing FDA-approved drugs. This work has the potential to reduce healthcare costs by avoiding initial treatment failures and foster transdisciplinary graduate research and workforce development in the Appalachian region of West Virginia, which experiences high cancer incidence and mortality rates.
