Collaboration seeks to use artificial intelligence to predict how patients will respond to immunotherapy

Protagen AG, the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) and NEC Laboratories Europe GmbH (all based in Germany) have joined forces in an attempt to improve in silico methods to predict how patients will respond to immunotherapy in malignant melanoma. The group want to develop and apply deep machine-learning to explore biomarkers for relevant endpoints – including clinical response and survival.

To find out more about how the collaboration came about and why a predictive approach to immunotherapy is so important, we spoke with the diagnostics biotechnology company, Protagen.

About the Author(s)

James Strachan

Over the course of my Biomedical Sciences degree it dawned on me that my goal of becoming a scientist didn’t quite mesh with my lack of affinity for lab work. Thinking on my decision to pursue biology rather than English at age 15 – despite an aptitude for the latter – I realized that science writing was a way to combine what I loved with what I was good at. From there I set out to gather as much freelancing experience as I could, spending 2 years developing scientific content for International Innovation, before completing an MSc in Science Communication. After gaining invaluable experience in supporting the communications efforts of CERN and IN-PART, I joined Texere – where I am focused on producing consistently engaging, cutting-edge and innovative content for our specialist audiences around the world.
