The American Cancer Society has awarded an $879,000 Research Scholar Grant to Panneerdoss Subbarayalu, PhD, assistant professor/research in the Department of Cell Systems and Anatomy at the Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio). The four-year grant will support groundbreaking research at Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute to develop a new targeted therapy for osteosarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer in children and adolescents.

AI models – for example, those used for cancer detection – are trained on patients’ health data. Even the mere fact that personal data has been incorporated into a model can have negative consequences for those affected if this information falls into the wrong hands. In “Nature”, a research team now shows that, using the right methods, this sensitive information can be extracted from models far more effectively than previously thought.

The LMU pharmaceutical scientist has been awarded a fourth grant by the European Research Council (ERC) to test a new platform for nanocarriers of RNA therapeutics.
