Following organ transplant surgery, patients may be prescribed a strong immunosuppressant drug called tacrolimus. The blood levels of the medication can be highly variable among patients which can lead to increased risks.

Elmira Amooei

Data Science, Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (DSAAI) PhD student Elmira Amooei is developing AI-based models to personalize the dosing of the drug.

By leveraging AI methods, including machine learning and reinforcement learning techniques, the research team is developing models to predict an individual鈥檚 drug response to optimize dosing.

鈥淯sing AI to personalize drug dosing can enhance patient safety and treatment effectiveness,鈥� says Amooei. 鈥淭his field of research can potentially serve as a foundation for similar personalized dosing practices.鈥�
