Advancing Cancer Research Through Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Our initiative aims to accelerate breakthroughs in cancer treatment and prevention through algorithmic understanding.

Our Mission

This project explores advanced treatment planning for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), combining mathematical modeling and machine learning to optimize outcomes.

Focus Areas

Phase 1:
Tumor Classification w/ Clinical Data

Phase 2:
Multimodal Tumor Classification

Phase 3:
Maximize TCP + Minimize NTCP

Featured Proposals, Progressions, and Posts

Final Project

ML Study for Classification in HNSCC

Our final project focused on the first recommended "chunk". We dealt with different classification models, and Neural Networks to discover which model would help us classify our dataset without utilizing any ground truths or clean scans.

Project Update

Update after meeting with Dr.Rahman

After meeting with our TA, Prakash, and our Professor, Dr. Rahman, we have updated our plan to break the project into three distinct parts.
