The project addresses a critical clinical gap: infants and children with congenital heart defects who receive epicardial leads—implanted...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded The University of Chicago $249,000 on April 1, 2026, under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) to develop explainable artificial intelligence models for predicting early-stage melanoma recurrence through integrative analysis of multiplexed tissue imaging, spatial transcriptomics, and clinical histopathology data. The research addresses the gap between current inadequate prognostic tools and the clinical need to identify...
- The National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $660,346 on July 1, 2026, under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) to develop multi-vendor artificial intelligence models that assist clinicians in targeting prostate cancer during ultrasound-only biopsies. The project, titled "Real-Time Prostate Cancer Detection on B-Mode Conventional and Micro-Ultrasound for Targeting Clinically Significant Cancer During...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded The Johns Hopkins University $249,000 on January 1, 2026, under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) to develop large-scale artificial intelligence using radiomics, deep learning, and physics-based generative modeling to improve clinical outcomes in nuclear medicine. The award funds three specific aims: construction of a large database of clinical positron emission tomography/computed tomography images with physician-annotated...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded the Institute For Systems Biology $555,592 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to develop AI-driven infrastructure for integrating and analyzing cancer datasets and identifying cancer risk factors. The recipient will construct a multi-modal, harmonized resource for the tumor microenvironment featuring an AI-powered spatial search tool. Using spatial datasets from the Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN), the...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $640,956 on May 15, 2026, under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) to develop an artificial intelligence-enhanced perfusion MRI imaging biomarker for predicting yttrium-90 microsphere distribution in radioembolization treatment of liver cancer. The project addresses the current limitation that determining how Y90 microspheres disperse in a tumor relies on labor-intensive tracking of...
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering awarded Northwestern University $107,425 on August 5, 2026, to develop CYST-SUITE, a federated artificial intelligence tool for pancreatic cyst management and risk stratification. CYST-SUITE will analyze CT and MRI scans of the pancreas to segment pancreatic tissue and cysts, classify cyst type from six common varieties, and estimate malignant transformation risk. The tool employs federated learning to train on thousands of patient scans across multiple hospitals while preserving patient privacy and maintaining performance across different imaging hardware and protocols. By improving clinicians' ability to distinguish dangerous cysts from benign lesions, the research aims to reduce unnecessary surgeries while enabling earlier detection of pancreatic cancer, which carries only a 10 percent five-year survival rate. The award funds research under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), which supports hypothesis- and technology-driven research in biomedical imaging and bioengineering. Work is performed at Northwestern University's Chicago, Illinois facility. The period of performance runs through July 31, 2028.
