ARLINGTON, Texas, Aug. 31 -- The University of Texas at Arlington issued the following news release:
Junzhou Huang, a professor of computer science and engineering at The University of Texas at Arlington, is using artificial intelligence to better predict how genes and drugs might work together to treat disease.
A $3.1 million National Institutes of Health grant will support the project, which is jointly led by Professor Huang, UTA mathematics Professor Xinlei Wang, and UT Southwestern Assistant Professor Lin Xu. Together, the researchers will develop an advanced computational framework to predict gene-gene and drug-drug synergies, aiming to lower costs and accelerate the development of targeted treatments.
The project reflects a close c...
