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

\u201cCurrently, dosing decisions are made based on trial-and-error and generalized guidelines, which do not capture the individual variations in patients and often result in increasing organ rejection or toxicity risks,\u201d says Amooei.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By leveraging AI methods, including machine learning and reinforcement learning techniques, the research team is developing models to predict an individual\u2019s drug response to optimize dosing.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing AI to personalize drug dosing can enhance patient safety and treatment effectiveness,\u201d says Amooei. \u201cThis field of research can potentially serve as a foundation for similar personalized dosing practices.\u201d<\/p>\n
