Protein Mutations and Disease: A Predictive AI Approach

21.04.2025

Proteins play a critical role in cell structure and function, but when they misfold or mutate, they can lead to severe diseases, including neurodegeneration and cancer. A student trained an AI model on large datasets describing protein conditions, structural changes, and mutation outcomes. The model learned to predict the likelihood of a protein becoming dysfunctional under specific environmental or genetic conditions. This approach allows for earlier detection of molecular changes before symptoms arise. It's a promising step toward personalized medicine and targeted treatment strategies.
