Note: Deep learning tools for cancer research in biomedicine. Deep learning (DL) has revolutionised cancer research by extracting molecular information from image data. However, its effectiveness is limited as it remains purely descriptive and disconnected from biological mechanistic knowledge. In this context, the ERC-funded NADIR project aims to leverage DL models to predict, verify and even discover new biological mechanisms. Integrating programming, medical image analysis and biomedical engineering, the project will develop DL tools capable of extracting biological concepts, elucidating biological mechanisms, and generating and testing mechanistic hypotheses. NADIR’s primary focus lies on understanding tumour-immune interactions in colorectal and gastric cancers. Through its educational and outreach programme, the project aims to make the tools available to cancer researchers in the field of biomedicine.
