Background
Artificial intelligence (AI) can play a significant role in predicting immune responses using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data due to its ability to analyze complex biological datasets and recognize patterns that are not easily discernible by human experts. There are over 300.000 immune responses known to modern science of which only several hundreds are more or less studied. Manual analysis of test result require significant well-trained man power trained in various medical areas. These resources are scarce and expensive therefore blocking development of personalized medication and treatments. Neural networks may be of a great assistance in this matter.
By utilizing AI in conjunction with NGS, researchers can gain deeper insights into the immune system and advance the personalized medicine field, improving patient outcomes and treatment strategies.
Data Handling and Processing
NGS produces vast amounts of genetic data that can be overwhelming to analyze manually. AI can efficiently process and clean this data, removing errors and ensuring only high-quality sequences are used for analysis.
Pattern Recognition
AI algorithms, especially machine learning models like deep neural networks, are adept at identifying complex patterns in data. These patterns can correlate specific genetic sequences or mutations with immune responses.
Predictive Modeling
AI can build predictive models that take genetic information from NGS as input and predict immune reactions. These models learn from historical data where the genetic makeup and corresponding immune responses are known.
Biomarker Discovery
AI can help identify novel biomarkers that are indicative of certain immune responses by analyzing the genetic sequences and their associations with immune system activity.
Personalized Medication
By predicting immune responses, AI can contribute to the development of personalized treatment plans, where therapies are tailored based on an individual's genetic profile and expected immune response.
Vaccine Development
In vaccine R&D AI can predict how different genetic profiles might respond to a potential vaccine, accelerating the identification of effective candidates. It may also identify factors that affects the effectiveness and efficiency of vaccine and side-effects preventing it from usage on specific groups of patients.
Real-time Monitoring
With continued learning, AI systems can provide close to real-time monitoring and adjustment of predictions based on new incoming NGS data, thus refining the accuracy of immune response predictions over time. Given relatively low test-kit costs more frequent personalized studies will be limited with highly scalable computing power of our servers.
