Main responsibilities

During your master-thesis, you will be leveraging AI techniques and internalizing AI algorithms for clinical trial outcome prediction. You will review several newly proposed AI-based approaches (e.g., HINT, SPOT, PlaNet and LLM-based approaches).

These approaches usually consider multi-modal data (e.g., drug molecule, target disease, eligibility criteria, safety, biological knowledge) and integrate all these data into a deep learning model to predict the success or failure of a given clinical trial before it starts, supporting some internal decision-making processes. Following the state-of-the-art review phase, you will internalize and test some of these algorithms on existing benchmarks and internal clinical trials. A rigorous evaluation on these approaches will be essential as it will serve as a basis to develop our own fit-for-purpose and end-to-end AI-based model for efficient clinical trial outcome prediction. Datasets and codes (Python) are released on GitHub.
