“Artificial intelligence-based identification of microbes associated immune responses in cancer and immune diseases”
Dr. Auslander is developing an artificial intelligence-based approach to efficiently detect microbial expression in cancer and immune diseases. Her approach outperforms existing strategies and allows the detection of new microbes in human disease tissues, whose expression correlate with patients’ immune responses and disease outcomes.
Dr. Auslander’s successful proposal offers a new technique to study the role of microbes in disease immune responses and to ultimately improve both vaccine and immunotherapy development.
Noam Auslander focuses on developing machine learning methods to understand genetic and infectious factors that drive cancer evolution and identify patterns that can improve cancer diagnosis and treatment.
About Noam Auslander:
Auslander earned her B.S. in computer science and biology from Tel Aviv University and continued her studies in Maryland, where she obtained a computer science Ph.D. from the University of Maryland with a combined fellowship at the National Cancer Institute.
She received postdoctoral training at the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and joined The Wistar Institute in 2021 as an assistant professor.
