Artificial intelligence spearheading cancer research in Dresden for enhanced diagnosis and treatment methods
The DECIPHER-M project, a significant undertaking in the field of oncology, is currently facing one of its biggest challenges: metastasis. This project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), is a collaborative effort between multiple institutions, including the Technical University of Dresden, as well as partners from Aachen, Essen, Heidelberg, Mainz, and Munich.
The project employs a multimodal approach, connecting various types of data such as tissue samples, X-rays, and genetic information, to create a "bigger picture" of cancer spread. This approach is made possible through the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
The initial funding for the project spans three years, with approximately 5.5 million euros allocated. However, the project's leadership aims to invest a total of around nine million euros in DECIPHER-M. The project's long-term goal is to develop personalized treatment strategies for individual metastasis risk prediction.
The DECIPHER-M research project is focused on understanding the spread of cancer cells. By gaining a deeper understanding of this process, the project aims to prevent the spread of cancer through improved understanding and treatment options. This, in turn, is expected to lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses, and ultimately, improved survival rates for cancer patients.
The project is scheduled to take place from this year until 2030, spanning a total of five years. The project is led by scientists from Dresden, and the collaborative nature extends beyond just Dresden, involving multiple institutions across Germany.
The DECIPHER-M project is designed to revolutionize the way cancer is treated and understood, with the ultimate goal of improving treatment options and survival rates for cancer patients.
