Summary: Supports research leveraging AI/machine learning with molecular biomarkers to improve access and outcomes in lung transplantation.
This grant supports research projects that utilize artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) in combination with molecular biomarkers—derived from blood, body fluids, or tissue—to advance non-invasive diagnostics and improve clinical outcomes in lung transplantation. The goal is to facilitate innovative, technology-driven approaches that enhance care for lung transplant recipients, with a particular emphasis on non-invasive biomarker discovery and analysis.
