A deep learning strategy to integrate karyometric features with underlying molecular pathways in ovarian cancer initiation

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will utilize $667,998 in funding from the Department of the Army Medical Command under the Military Medical Research and Development program to support the project "A Deep Learning Strategy to Integrate Karyometric Features with Underlying Molecular Pathways in Ovarian Cancer Initiation" from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2026.

Through this Project Grant award, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will conduct research to develop a deep learning strategy to integrate karyometric features observable through microscopy with underlying molecular pathways involved in the initiation of ovarian cancer. The Military Medical Research and Development program aims to advance biomedical research that transforms military and public health care by investigating medical solutions applicable to battlefield trauma and other health issues. This award supports those goals by furthering scientific understanding of ovarian cancer initiation at the molecular level through integrated analysis of visual and genomic data, with the potential to improve detection and treatment of this disease.
