AI model predicts which breast-cancer drugs work best
Key Takeaways
  • The model was trained on over 38 million protein measurements from 18 breast-cancer cell lines including 16 TNBC lines.
  • Training data included levels of 5,585 protein groups measured before and at 6, 24, and 48 hours after drug treatment.
  • The model achieved 88% accuracy predicting responses to 81 drugs withheld from the training set and validated on 501 patient biopsies.
