MIT Jameel Clinic tackling cancer, Alzheimer’s with funding for AI technologies that aim to detect and prevent diseases
- أعضاء هيئة التدريس والباحثون الرئيسيون في معهد ماساتشوستس للتكنولوجيا يشرعون في تنفيذ مشاريع للوقاية من الأمراض وكشفها وعلاجها باستخدام تقنية التعلم الآلي
- MIT Jameel Clinic is the fourth major collaborative effort between MIT and Community Jameel
CAMBRIDGE, MA – May 1, 2019: The Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health, or MIT Jameel Clinic, has developed AI technologies to optimise early detection and prevention of ailments including cancer, epilepsy, mental health, cognitive impairment, and congestive heart failure.
Launched this fall, MIT Jameel Clinic is the fourth major collaborative effort between Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Community Jameel. MIT Jameel Clinic aims to create high-precision, affordable, and scalable machine learning technologies in areas of health care ranging from diagnostics to pharmaceuticals.
“We were impressed by the depth, creativity, and scope of the proposals we received,” says Anantha P. Chandrakasan, dean of the MIT School of Engineering and the Vannevar Bush Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, who chairs MIT Jameel Clinic.
“We are excited to be taking this important step with the inaugural round of MIT Jameel Clinic research funding,” said Fady Jameel, President, International, Community Jameel. “Through the research funded by these grants, MIT Jameel Clinic is harnessing the power of machine learning and taking the fight to cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases that affect the lives of people around the world.”
The projects involve principal investigators from departments and labs within engineering, architecture and planning, science, and management. MIT Jameel Clinic received a total of 43 proposals.
As well as early detection and prevention of diseases, the funded projects include repurposing existing drugs and optimising electronic health records. In addition, a grant funded by MIT Jameel Clinic in collaboration with the MIT Deshpande Centre for Technological Innovation will support AI-focused research into the rapid diagnosis of bacterial infection.
وتشتمل مجالات التركيز في عيادة عبد اللطيف جميل لتقنيات التعلم الآلي في مجال الرعاية الصحية (J-Clinic) ثلاثة محاور أساسية هي:
MIT Jameel Clinic’s three main areas of focus are:
طرق الطب الوقائي والتكنولوجيات مع القدرة على تغيير مسار الأمراض غير المعدية عن طريق وقفها في مساراتها.
تطوير العقاقير واكتشافها لتمكين اكتشاف المستحضرات الدوائية وتطويرها بصورة أسرع وبتكلفة أقل، وبخاصة العقاقير المخصصة لعلاج الحالات الفردية الخاصة.
ويقوم النهج الشامل لعيادة عبد اللطيف جميل لتقنيات التعلم الآلي في مجال الرعاية الصحية (J-Clinic) على خبرات معهد ماساتشوستس للتكنولوجيا (MIT) القوية في علوم الأحياء الخلوية وعلوم الأحياء الطبية، وعلوم الحاسب، والهندسة، والعلوم الاجتماعية وغيرها من المجالات الأخرى.
MIT Jameel Clinic’s holistic approach utilises MIT’s strong expertise in cellular and medical biology, computer science, engineering, and the social sciences, amongst other areas.
MIT Jameel Clinic leverages MIT’s strong relationship with industry and Boston-area hospitals to test, integrate, and deploy new technologies. It seeks to advance patentable research that can be commercialised and spun-out through licensing to start-ups and pharmaceutical companies, putting these advances into real-life practice.
